Midnight Sun

inneist · Jul 1, 2005

These are the photos taken from Nordkapp (North Cape, 71°10`21"N) where the sun never sets in the middle of the summer. They say nothing can beat the natural light. Around 0:00 am the light was still good enough for me to take shots.

Actually bathing in the summer sun makes you feel pretty warm. Just that it's always windy, and you never know what the weather will be the next hour..

You mean that globe? It's the symbol of North Cape. Supposedly the continent of Europe ends here in its northernmost corner. During the trip I came to know more about this region. Hardly an end of this world. Svalbard, for example, lies further north. May I suggest, that's the beautiful thing about life: there's always a beginning lying ahead just when you think the world comes to an end.
