I can remember hearing about the land of the Midnight Sun at school, all those years ago, but I think this picture illustrates so well what it must be like living within the Arctic Circle, that the sun literally never sets during the summer months.
The postcard came from Finland, one of the eight countries having land inside the Arctic Circle. The others are Canada, Greenland, Iceland, Norway, Russia, Sweden, and the USA.

A very unique card. I have friends in Canada and in Finland so that makes it special. Have a great weekend.

ReplyDeleteFour suns!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! I knew about midnight sun too but have never seen it.
ReplyDeleteMarvelous card. We forget about things like this ... living in light 24hours a day. Happy PFF!
ReplyDeleteI like the sc-fi look of the four suns.

ReplyDeleteI remember long nights of daylight when I did a cruise to the capitals of Scandinavia. It seemed pretty strange. But all that spectacular scenery was
