A very rainy Midsummer Celebration in the Stavanger Region..

It is Midsummer's Eve.

We have some good food and cold drinks on the table soon.

Outside it is like this: http://pent.no/forecast/Stavanger;58.96530;5.71796

It is probably as empty as this image shows in some of the parking areas in town.

School holidays have started and many people have gone on holiday or away for the weekend.

I hope YOU are just where you want to be to celebrate Midsummer's Eve or
St.Hans, as we call it.

Our city has several small islands connected to the mainland via small bridges, like this Engøy Bridge, between Engøy and Sølyst. If you go to the right here you will come to the big City Bridge.

Tonight there will be mid summers night celebrations all over.

Enjoy the evening wherever you are!

Tonight we celebrate "Midsummernight". For us it means BBQ and bonfires.

Click on the word after labels, under this text and you will see what I mean.

This is one of our Poppy flowers. Fascinating details inside, and so colorful!

We just hope we will have real summer soon.

How do you celebrate Midsummernight?

Tonight is "Midsummernight"
Here in Stavanger, during the summer, it is light until very late in the evening. Most people gather together with friends, family or neighbors for picnics, barbeques and parties.
Some do this at home, and some go to places where there are organised events including big bonfires.
A good excuse for a party....... but tomorrow is back to work for most people.
