If you are somewhere like Nellim, Inari or Saariselkä in Finnish Lapland then even on the shortest day of the year, you will witness around 3 to 4 hours of what the locals called “Blue Time”. Blue time is neither day nor night. It’s a kind of ethereal bluey-grey time and really rather atmospheric.
Regardless, the locals are always happy to see the Sun reappear above the horizon albeit very briefly. In the fells above Saariselkä, the Sun returned to the skies yesterday and our photographer, Matt Robinson, and quite a few others (including one seemingly unimpressed canine) were there to see it.
Here are a few of Matt’s photographs…….quite something huh?
