Estonians, like many other nations, celebrate the shortest night of the year. We make fire, eat and drink a lot and the night is really short- the sun sets about 10.45 PM and rises at 4 AM again. And its not dark meantime.
At 10.PM it was like daytime:
At 10.PM it was like daytime:
At 11.PM we went out to see bonfires in our neighbourhood. The sea was absolutely scilent and the sun had painted both the sea and the sky red in the most beautiful patterns:
The old town of Tallin is about 10 km from here:
some people were sailing
and a majestic swan sliding between the rocks:
These photos are made within 5 minutes, but you can see, how different those are- if you look at the north-west, the sea is red, its foggy blue in the south and as clear as daytime in between (the picture with a sailing ship)
Now its 00.20 and you can see bonfires everywhere along the coast:
At 3.AM it was possible to read a book without turning lights on:
And this is it- from now on every night turns a bit longer an every day a bit shorter up to Christmas, which is winter solstice and we have a good reason to celebrate again:)

Vau, need helesini-roosad siidised loojangud on võrratud, võtavad sõnatuks...
No uskumatult kaunis loojang!
Jah, tõepoolest siis oli aru saada, et suvi on alanud. Head suve algust!
Ilusad on kõik loojangud, aga see roosa peegelduse ja luikedega.... ahhhhhhhh!
Väga hea põhjalik kirjeldus välismaalastele. Peab meeles pidama ja linkima, kui kellelegi vaja kirjeldada. Ise vaatasime peale pidu hoopis päikesetõusu ja see oli ka imeline.
Tõeliselt ilusad loojangu pildid!
