Itâs soon that time of the year when the part of the world where I grew up become the most beautiful, midsummer with 24 hours of daylight. Will probably miss it this year but the longing in me is almost physical, thatâs when my homesickness becomes the strongest. But I got to experience it last summer.
Last summer I did a lot of driving, of course I have mixed feelings about that too since the effects on the environment but the distances in the north are long. And I enjoyed it so much, to be able to experience the arctic summer with all my senses. Sometimes pain too, because we have a lot of mosquitoes. Once when I stopped the car got filled with mosquitoes and I almost panicked when starting to drive.
And it was a great summer. Warm and sunny almost every day. I even went swimming in the rapids at Kukkolaforsen, something that has seemed unthinkable to me previously. But, it was just nice and cooling in the hot summer night.

WOW WOW WOW đđ€©đ€©. I loved the photography and the scenes that you chose and I thought that Kukkolaforsen image of an object in the water resembling a fish (possibly a raft or a boat) was pretty funny hahaha.
They are all awesome, the view at the TorneĂ„ River, and the other one of the fishermen at Matkakoski definitely stand out đâșïžâșïž
Thanks đ they, and that place, means a lot to me. Was a magical summers night đ§ââïž
You are welcome đ.
Wow, I can see that, and i think you did a fanttsic job of giving us a great idea of what it’s like đâșïžđđ
You are welcome đđ. Indeed, it’s the people anywhere you go that trully make the experience what it is and thank goodness you have come across some great people haha.
I am happy knowing that it was a magical summers night for you. i hope many more are the same đđđâșïžâșïž
Hoping for that too đ€ and it doesnât have to be people to make an experience special for me itâs more of the moment itself that makes an experience special đ
Hahaha sure; that comment was in respose to when you said “thay”, so I agreed and basically said that I was happy that you came across great people đâïžđ. I didn’t mean that people are the only thing, but if you have “people” that “prohibit” you from going there and prohibit you from taking pictures over here, and restrict your access from certain areas, that people in that sense could create a pretty miserable experience đ đ . So I am happy that you didn’t encounter any of it đđđ
That time I didnât đ they were probably asleep at their homes. But maybe Iâll tell about the times they werenât đđ
Thank you for the invitation into your beautiful experience <3.
Thank you for sharing the experience with me đđ

Hahaha they probably were. Ok, if ever or whenever you are ready to share anything about your experiences, I am all ears <3 đđ
Still recuperating from those ones đ
Great, hand in there lol đđâșïž
I meant “hang” in there — “hand” was a typo, but i think you might have realized đđ
I did đ sometimes Iâm a bit clever. But “hand in there” was sort of an interesting comment đ
You sure are đđ. Yes it definitely is interesting despite thr error đđđ
Enjoy your Friday (I assume it’s Friday where you are — I could be wrong đ€Ł) and thanks for the support đđđđ
Still Friday đ and have been enjoying it, all day! Started with meeting a cat outside my balcony early in the morning and then taking some of the surf photos I had wanted to, and then it continued! Hope youâre having a good one too!
Haha that cat seems to think that your balcony is very comfortable đ€Łđ€Ł. I am happy that you finally got to take the surf photos <3 <3 đ. Thank you, my day is going great; I know that the weather is going to get a little hotter later on but I am prepared đȘđ
Great đ seems like itâs a good day today! Go swimming if you can, did so myself in the pouring rain. Most beautiful đ

Hej,
FörlÄt jag blev lite ivrig,
nÀr jag sÄg dina fotografer
att jag tÀnkte dem vara
pÄ vÄr sida av grÀnsen.
NĂ„, du kan byta ordet
kotikapunki mot kotiseutu
och alldeles Àr i ordning igen.
Ha det bra i vÀrlden
