Way up north

One more driving day. There was nothing special at first – familiar Karelian pines and mosses. But then we crossed the Arctic Circle and everything changed. First we got to the amazing views of Khibiny mountains. Then we understood what polar day is actually about.

Of course we knew about this endless polar day, but to know and to feel and see it with your own eyes are two absolutely different things. This polar day has absolutely nothing to do with white nights we have in Saint Petersburg and other similar areas. It's not like it's just light on the streets at night. The sun actually doesn't set here. You can wake up any time you want – the sun will be shining up in the sky. And the fact that it's impossible to somehow share this feeling through a photo (you can shoot whatever you want – it will look just like ordinary daytime) makes it even weirder.
Beautiful view
