It was midsummer last Friday, but – of course – celebrations were cancelled.
So let’s enjoy some views from midsummer past:
Ancient buildings and soft skies (Dubrovnik).

But midsummer is best in Sweden
With dancing around the maypole

And musicians donned up in their finery.

For more celebrations, please visit: Our World and Skywatch.
Fiona, what a delight to revisit these wonderful images! I love them all, yet that first one of the ancient building and soft skies is such a stunning view!
Thanks for sharing the beauty, my friend. Have a fabulous week! :

Here’s to the future dancing around the maypole! I have big things planned for 2022 Summer so we’d better all be all singing and dancing by then!

Midsummer Day passed without mention this year. And the big annual party that is usually CANADA DAY on July 1 was a scaled down affair due to Covid restrictions and the sad news about the unmarked graves of indigenous children. Better hopes for a big party in 2022.
