Midsummer is probably biggest celebration in Finland. Everyone gets day off from work and lot of people head towards their cottages etc.
Those of us, who stay in town can enjoy from silence or participate some of the events. One such event is Midsummer party in Seurasaari. In addition to celebration in Seurasaari, there are usually lots of boats near Seurasaari waiting for them to set their biggest bonfires on fire around 22:00.
This was first midsummer, where I had opportunity to watch those bonfires from boat. It was strange experience to be in middle of all those other boats.

Technical details: Canon EOS 20D & Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L USM (70mm, 1/160s, f/4.5, ISO200)
