Midsummer night



For the first time in years we had great weather for the celebration of the longest day of the year, St.Hans' as it's known over here. It's a custom to put together a big bonfire, which they also had at our summer solstice destination of choice – Hellviktangen at Nesodden. We had to leave before the bonfire got going, but it was still a very enjoyable evening in great surroundings.
