Midsummer 2015
The longest day of the year...or just about anyway...
The tradition gives us rain...
It was around 12 degrees in the evening...the day before mid summer...
Just picked up some ppl at the airport...
Mostly european arrivals from gothenburg...
Omg...by brother bough a big bottle of champange...
II passed by a swedish burger bar...
And some local mid summer celebrations...
With a pole in the middle...
...and rain clouds in the sky...
Some of the guests had traditional clothes
...while dancing traditional midsummer/christmas dances around the pole...
And some professional folklore dancers arrived...
Pretty nice national dress (from different provinces of sweden)...
And flowers in their head...
It was a swedish flag on the pole...
Omg...the national instrument of sweden "nyckelharpa"...
The others had also tradional instruments...
I figuered, when people get tattoos...they ofte dress so that they can expose their tattoo to others...a guy in finland had a tattoo on his upper leg, and wear short shorts the whole summer so that ppl could see it...
The band is set...
And the dancers arrived...
...and they started to dance some traditional dances...
From north to south of sweden...
Later on I made some dough..since its dragon boat festival...
I also tried to make rhybarb cordial..but it was hard to make it by pressing the fruit cold...
Kedar also dropped by...
He didnt stay for the dumplings but had some panncakes...
