Rovaniemi, 2008
Did you know that in Lapland, Finland, we have a natural light show in wintertime, the Northern Lights, Aurora Borealis?
Today, the sun rises in Rovaniemi 11:06 am, showing just barely above the horizon, and sets 1:32 pm. A little further North, it does not rise at all. But we get paid back with interest by 24 hours of sunlight in the summer.
The music playing is an excerpt from ”Pohjolan Tytär / Daughter of the North” by Jean Sibelius. Osmo Vänska conducts Lahti Symphony Orchestra. Download a boxed set of his complete orchestral works. .
