Beautiful North (3) - Finland Special Lights 美丽北国(3)-芬兰之光

Long time no see Finland. I saw light everywhere, gleaming, glinting, blazing, more dramatic than before, enchanting as usual. And thank you for the rainbow. . .

久违了的芬兰,无论树林,湖泊,天边,都透露着银影金辉,魔幻色彩。一道彩虹横贯长空,美丽得不真实,令人无法不相信神话。。。


Did I say "Let there be light"?  
是我说“要有光”的吗?

Anyways, and there was light!  
是谁说的也好,反正光是有了!

glinting off crispy water,  
清澈的湖泊中闪烁,


setting the clouds ablaze. . .   红透了半边天。 。 。

The sun and moon, overlapping in long summer shifts
在长长的夏日,太阳与月亮经常同时出现,各据一方

Forging, golden pine and silver birch  孕育金树银桦
Amber twilight   琥珀黄昏
Midnight sun, reluctant to go   子夜将至,落日依依
Moon outshining the redundant lighthouse (around 1:30 a.m.!)
深夜月光,在幽蓝的天边照着休假中的灯塔 (大概深夜1点半)
Perfect stillness, harmony   平静和谐  水天一色

Broken by precipitous tempest   瞬间波谲云诡
Frothing, turning, testing. . .  处处波澜白浪  考验能耐。。。

A rainbow, finally, opens a new story. . .
美丽得不真实的彩虹,令人再次相信神话。。。

Fabulous light - makes Finland a warm temptation instead of a cold, dark and distant place!

Thanks guys. Finland was indeed amazing and warm. Water temperature being in the high 20s was the hottest conversation topic in July. Unheard of! said the old Finns. I suppose some will find global warming more cosy than others.

Looks incredible. I would have my mouth open the whole time, which might be inconvenient when swimming! You can't steal a rainbow but hope you mentally packed yours for home.

I love this 'light-story' of yours of a Finish summer. Light is life. And rainbows make it a wonder. Merci, Monsieur Balzac!
