Memories of midsummer

July 01, 2012  •  Leave a Comment

It's been a week since I celebrated midsummer in Orsa in Dalarna, Sweden. Dalarna is the place to be if you want to see traditional midsummer celebration with dancing around the Maypole and folkmusic. I had a few pictures in my mind that I wanted to capture, people dancing round the Maypole etc. Well let's just say that there will be Midsummer next year as well. I have two small children and the first thing they noticed when we came to the place where the Maypole was located, were the tivoli with their roundabouts. So off to the tivoli and what do you now, the next minute the dancing and music was over as were the tickets to the roundabouts.

Well a I did managed to get a few pictures that I feel captures Midsummer.

The picture above is from the march where they carry the tendril to the Maypole. Below is a picture of another typical thing, mosquitos.
