Blossom in the Midnight Sun

Colorful flowers blooming in the Swedish Midnight Sun next to a lake in the remote Scandinavian wilderness. Gävleborg county in Central Sweden is one of the country's less densely populated regions with endless forests stretching across its vast landscapes and countless lakes making for idyllic sceneries. This image was taken in the Midsommer season close to midnight while on a bike tour through the remote forests of the region
