I spent midsummer celebration in Kuusamo area,Finland. this lake runs to river that goes to Russia.it was cool to go paddling and explore new spots.

Since I was staying so close to Russia I had to go see the border! this road is super small and goes forever in the forest and suddenly you arrive in border zone.

Moose on the run!

Bonfire is a big part of finnish midsummer celebration culture.

this is the darkest it gets up north during summer.this photo was taken around 2am. couple hours later it was sunny again
