The midnight sun is only available above the Arctic Circle, and we're nowhere near it. However, at almost 60°N the sun is still so close to the horizon that it never gets darker than this. And even on a clear night as you see here, it's so bright that there's not a star in sight.

Tonight is summer solstice, June 21st. From now on it gets a bit darker every night.

I knoooow, Molly! I'm horribly slow ;) And I have to admit I post a bit more at Flickr lately, but I like to keep my Phlog account alive as well. The picture was taken just about here, but you'll have to be there around midsummer on a clear night to get the colours like that ;)
Give me words!
