Pink light in the middle of the night near Stockholm

In order to escape from the easy summer of Stockholm, Fakhlolm is not defeated. The quick phrase takes you to the archipelago capital in less than an hour. My advice is to spend the afternoon in exploring the city, with its classic wooden homes from Falu-Red and gardens overflowing with flowers. But do not take the last phrase. Instead, search for a spot next to the water and watch it while the sun refuses in the middle of the summer to put it, the carrots shower with golden and pink light for hours. It is a simple way to access to experience the endless daylight magic in Sweden without getting out of the city.

French football

Our stay in the middle of summer was in Le Pin, a village in southern France between Bordeaux and Toulouse is rich in natural wonders, and it was not always seen but heard a lot. From the screaming of diving in the nineteenth century market hall in Auvillar, near the turtle pigeon, which is launched next to a rural road, this poet was for fans of birds. We heard the decimal melodies throughout the day as well as after the darkness, and the calls of Cier Buntings, Hoopoes and Black Redstarts were caught. It was not just birds. One night, cockroaches and frogs have provided a variety of eager and briefly – which is an unforgettable midfield.
