Midsummer

Verdens Gang

Around 01.00 in the midle of the night, the crowd sets fire on a wodden fleet. They carry the fleet to a small lake. Here the men undresses, and brings the fleet into the water. They also carry with them torches. The fire is a symbol of the sun. Piltinkalns, Latvia, June 21, 2006.
