MIDNIGHT SUN (©)

....I've been in a part of this world where the sun, in certain times of the year never sets.
Even at night, looking towards the North Pole, you can see his yellow-orange brightness, while the sky takes on blue-green colors.
It 's a fascinating thing that excites you.
In reality, in Scandinavia I found so many beautiful things and fascinating..... let's find out together!

Working conditions:
DSLR: Nikon D50 with Tamron AF 18-270mm f / 3,5-5,6 Di II VC and Lowepro Inverse 100 AW beltpack camera case (This equipment has been purchased specifically for this trip).
Compact cameras: Nikon Coolpix S640 and Sony DSC WX-1

Together we will visit Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland
Stay tuned!

We had to cover the windows in the summer just to get to sleep at night. I wish I had taken more pictures and had my knowledge of photography, limited as it is, then. Sure do love the digital method today rather than the film of yesterday. Great gallery Paolo! V!
