City hall silhouette after midnight

We have already midnight sun here in Tornio even the sun is not visible full 24 hours. Now sun is above the horizon about 23 hours. Only few more days and then it will be 24.

I took this photo few days ago at 1:35AM, when sun was behind the buildings. I also used settings in the camera, where the color saturation is stronger and photo is darker. So in real life the view is not so dark at all like in this photo.

Ice floes are moving with a force.

Some ice floes are still very thick.

Breakwater and ice floes. Middle part of the river on the background is already clear of ice.

Sometimes it's possible to see surprises on the ice.

Midsummer is already in the end of next month, but now it's still difficult to understand.
