Denmark celebrates Midsummer Night every year on 23rd of June.
People gather around bonfires to sing and celebrate Midsummer.
Though something was different this year.
The drought conditions lead to a burn ban and the conditions haven’t change, on the contrary.
There are no signs of rain for the time being.
But that day on 23rd of June we went to Roskilde to celebrate Midsummer and it was a thrill to see the Sea Stallion from Glendalough in its right element, the fjord. You can read about the full arrangement for the ship at the Viking Ship Museum site.
We visited the old part of the town and had a great walk at Sct. Jørgensbjerg. The locals calls it The Mountain.
The view is magnificent!

It really burns me up when certain politicians & others say there is no climate change. Lovely shots, Hanna! xoxo
Hi Resa. Luckily we don’t experience much of that kind of manipulation in Denmark and the climate change is also rather obvious now. An interesting phenomena and interesting at the same time 😦
Thanks, Resa xx
Great shots and celebration. I would also love to see the Sea Stallion!
Thanks Leya, A short boat trip would be nice too 🙂
I’d love to watch the Sea Stallion on the water!
It sure is an alluring and fascinating vision!!
Love the longboat!
… a boat full of adventures!!
And adventurers!
That’s an interesting cause for celebration. We’ll take it! 😄 Also, beautiful pictures.

Thanks a lot, Alex. The choice we made for the celebration turned out beautifully.
Maybe you would like to see a Midsummer celebration from Copenhagen from a year without a draught: A Great Midsummer Night in Copenhagen
All the best,
