You have no idea how happy a Finnish person is when the winter is turning to spring and we are already having more than 12 hours of daylight!
It's only increasing from here until we get daylight for 20 hours, ahh, it's the most wonderful thing for a photographer who only uses available light and prefers the natural light. It's going to be the first summer since high school when I get to roam free and enjoy the summer (if it arrives, it's not always a given in Finland) and all the light with my camera, what ever time I want. Oh the freedom, I'm ecstatic about it!
Here I am enjoying the last rays of sunshine from the day, shining through a macrame curtain thingy, making for interesting shapes of light and shadow.
These are your photos I also like!
I did not think you were such a needlewoman! I like.

Fore sure but its freakin awesome nonetheless! I zoned out looking at it.
Nice :) @tipu upvote this post for 0.3 sbd
Ahh thats amazing to have so much daily sunshine! Love what you did with the shadows, nice addition to your polaroids!
Well, the sunshine will be a mystery, but at least some sort of daylight, and lot's of it during the summer time :D Thank you! :)
I am ho happy for you, it will boost your psychic! How do you sleep with only 4 hours of darkness?
It'll boost my psychoticism😈 There is this thing I do when I go to sleep, I close my eyes! Try it sometimes, it's fun!
Haha, sarcastic much? Well, I knew of this before, but I found especially for you, this article from a pretty credible source where it recommends having a completely dark and quiet room when you go to sleep, by other tips for a better sleep experience. Try to read take a look miss Evelyn, it can help you ;)
Me, sarcastic, never!
I also have curtains that can be closed to ensure darkness :) And I no longer have any problems with sleeping after I quit my day job :)
I guess this should be added as a tip in that Harvard article :)) it will improve the lives of so many people!
How revolutionary right?! But it's actually pretty weird, I pretty much slept 2-3 hours at night and another 3 napping during the day, always tired. Now I don't need the nap anymore and happily sleep at night time :)
Indeed, interrupting your sleep is very bad and does not let your brain relax and process all the information that it got through the previous day, as you are stopping him in different sleep phases. This can seem unrelated, but it can be cool so: Have you ever tried lucid dreaming?
Mmmmm, yes.. the return of the light! Yes... as a Minnesotan, I can almost relate. It's 30°F (-1.11°C) here / 12:47 hours of sunlight, and increasing. :) Stay sunny Eve!!
I think the weather might not be that different from over there, you get snow too right? The temperature is the same in here right now, and it's promised a snow storm for tomorrow. Let us have summer soon! :)
Yeah, well it gets bitter cold here and we have PLENTY of snow, especially this year... yes more on the way for us as well! But, Helsinki is 15° further North than we are here in Minneapolis... so you have a little more darkness to contend with. But yes... Summer is welcome to arrive soon!!!
And I'm a few degrees north from Helsinki :) It's crazy how much snow we are getting this winter, but I don't mind at all! It's getting brighter by the day and soon we'll have that 20 hours of daylight, I love it :)
20 hours of daylight...! The only time I have experienced that is in Iceland. It's so surreal when the sunset and sunrise merge together like that. :) I had a hard time knowing when to sleep! Enjoy every last ray of light, you've earned it!
Well, it comes with a price, the same thing but reversed in the the winter :D Ahh, Iceland is one of the dream destinations on the travel list, it was probably awesome!
Maybe we can have SteemFest3 in Iceland. ;)
love Eve un covered :)
It just changed the look of the pictures....
It makes it more Beautiful.... It's great though...
👌👌👌👌👌👌
Thank you :)
You welcome
yes a very beautiful photo, hopefully the days ahead of her can be a more creative photographer again work and passion to live your days in this summer.
@eveuncovered
It seems like you are accustomed to life in the darkness. this is very good. one of Lithuania tv channels will soon begin a reality experiment. participants will live in complete darkness for 10 weeks. Prize is 20000 euro. If you win I will take 6000 euro for giving you this information. Deal?
I have a love-hate relationship with darkness, mostly hate :D Me and my camera looove to play with the light. With complete darkness, does it mean they will be in pitch black and have to do anything and everything in dark?
Edit I probably should not trust this to a google translate. but I am too lazy to do this myself...
"Darkness" is a 24-hour reality experiment, which not only takes place in Lithuania but also in the whole world.
This is the biggest human test that goes into television history. Exhibitors of the classic reality show will live in 10 weeks of darkness. Sudden loss is the most important part of our senses - vision is like a catastrophe. However, our consciousness can quickly adapt to the crisis situation and compensate for the lack of vision, reinforcing other feelings and exploiting the possibilities of avoiding human preparation. Every winner, friend, teacher is assigned to each participant in the project - a blind or obscure person whose life has long been a normal life. From the very first moment of the experiment, a unique role-playing game takes place: an unintelligible person in our society is unaware, and the person suddenly turns his head higher than the visual disorder, and the latter feel helpless and addicted. wizards who feel in the dark like fish in the water. Experiment experiment participants not only try to survive in such extreme conditions not only for the first time in their lives, but also each week carry out special tasks that can determine their survival in projects. During the whole experiment, only viewers vote for their rivals, they make a final victory, whose prize is never bigger - even 20,000 euros.
Try something you will never learn!
Sound intense, I would hate it. Visual things are so important to me, not just to survive but I like to look at pretty things!
money is tempting but 10 weeks without ability to see or create something beautiful... I would probably lose my mind. That is why I thought that using a mole/ hobbit as my proxy would be a good idea.
Have you seem my photography, it needs the light! Find another hobbit😤
finding another hobbit might be possible. But convincing him to go on an adventure? Not even my wizardly power/ wisdom could accomplish such miracle.
Whaaa? You get even 20 hours of daylight? How can you sleep?
Great polaroids though! Seems like you're really enjoying the sunshine...I wish the Netherlands stopped with this rain-craze and show some warmth too..
Yes, in the summer we do, though it doesn't always mean that it will be sunny and warm, just that the sun is up but it's behind the clouds :D I'm a well trained sleeper, I used to sleep on the daytime a lot :D
Thank you, I do love to play with the light and shadows :) Is Holland taking over Steemit, seems to be a lot of you here these days :)
Ahh alright, I guess all of the Scandinavia needs to train for their sleep with these kinds of diversions :)
Hahaha, don't worry/start celebrating, I'm not really Dutch, I just have the pleasure of living in this country :D
I just went by your blog, you seem like an entertaining person and I started following you, can't wait to see what you come up with next :)
Thank you! I'm also following you because you seem like a talented photographer - makes me feel in awe because I cannot even take a normal selfie :)
Note to foreigners: don't take the above literally. She probably only means that some summers are too cool for summer activities like swimming in lakes or the sea. There is no such thing as no summer in Finland. There are no polar bears in Finland, either.
Shhhh, don't tell them our secrets! There are polar bears, Santa Claus is real and lives in Lapland and and and all we see in the night time is Northern Lights!
This Canadian TOTALLy gets the light thing you talk about. in the dead of winter it is dark by 4:30 pm and remains dark until 7:30 to 8am. It is so disheartening. Keep playing in the light!
Take another 4 hours of daylight off of that and you'll have what we have in the dead of winter 😝
Trust me, the daylight joy is same in Estonia as well. Next week forecast predicts 9-15C on Thursday. Cant wait :D
No way, that warm!? 😱
Yup, but probably it will happen in southern part :D
Sometime, we live in shadow when we in selflife
Might sound silly, but are the more depressed people there? ('cuz lack of sunrays)?
YES!
What's your happiness formula?
Its not so dark in winter here in the UK as Finland but if you are working, then winter time it can mean you dont see any daylight, you go to work in the dark and come home in the dark.
So I certainly share your joy that longer days are on the way.
That sucks! I hated those days when I had 8am-4pm shifts in the wintertime.
It was 8AM to 6PM for me, fortunately I stopped doing it too ;)
Good, we need that solar energy to live ;)
Tänään tulee lunta 😞...
Joo eikös se luvannu jotain pyräkkää puolenpäivän jälestä?
Love the way you displayed the images. Double the solar goodness.
Trying to maximise the light when ever I can 😁

Haha, calm down! I’m no Einstein but sometimes I have good ideas :)
You’ll have to find me to get one of these 😈
As long as I find you wearing that black latex ready to take some polaroids we're good ;)
