Mid Summer in Leksand Darlana 2004

Mid summer is very well known for all Swedish people to celebrate. Most shops are closed, big town turns into a quiet ghost street and people are hardly at home. This is a tradition where you can see all young and old, man and women, girls and boys just happy and dance. They will dance around the pole with hundred and thousand of people around the world that came to celebrate the midsummer. For two years we have been celebrating our midsummer with our very close friend Anders, Sirpa and her family. Leksand is one of the best places to celebrate midsummer. Speeches will be in German, French, Spanish, Japanese, Mandarin, and Italian and so on






This is our friends from Borlange, Sirpa and Anders, holding my son and looking at something.....



This is the pole. It is decorated with lots of flowers. It takes so many many men to pull this up.




Veldiner and her best friend Sara. Daughter to Sirpa and Anders.




My lesbian friend. NO Just Joking. She is fun and crazy. Linda comes from Norway. This is her first time to celebrate mid summer in Sweden and she is really shocked to see thousands of people around.




Again Sirpa and my son Gabriel. So sweet of her to take care of him as mummy is busy running around. Ops......... I hope that is not the wine she is giving him.





Ian Philip and Gabriel. Son to Linda.
