Summer in Finland - today I sipped a latte at a streetside cafe and enjoyed the feel of the hot paving stones beneath my bare feet and the sun burning my shoulders. The men were all baring muscles and the women showing legs while a breeze from the sea softened the heat.
The nights are white. From my window I can watch the sun reluctantly set close to midnight but there is no darkness. The daylight plays across the sky even in the middle of the night.
I grew up in these strange conditions and I sleep well even when the morning sun shines at 3 am. But it still surprises me, every year.
