Solstice is celebrated 23rd of June here in Norway (St.Hans), and it is usually very much
a social community event, with huge bonfires along the coast (which is very long!)- as
seen here:

Unfortunately the weather forecast is very bad this year for my areas, so I think I'll
stay ashore. As it is also outside the time frame I have already shot something else,
but it would have been much better to shoot one of those big bonfires with lots of people
around..
And in Sweden AFAIK it is celebrated the weekend which comes nearest to the actual day?
