Magic (Midsummer) night

In two weeks we'll be celebrating the Midsummer here in Finland. Midsummer is the peak of summer - the day is long and the night is very short (in the Southern Finland less than four hours, in the Northern Finland the sun doesn't set at all). Midsummer night is an enchanted night, and traditionally people have been making all kinds of magic tricks to gain knowledge about their future (especially about their love life). I think one of the most wonderful magic tricks is the one promising that if you pick seven different flowers and put them under your pillow on Midsummer night, you'll see your future spouse in your dreams. In my collage I have depicted seven different flowers that I found on my yard.
This week I'm challenging you to make a piece of art with the theme "Magic night". It doesn't have to be Midsummer night - I'm sure there are a lot of various magic night traditions around the world. I'm not giving you any images for your piece - please feel free to use any images you like to depict your Magic Night. Post your collage on your blog or website, and use the link feature below to post a link to your blog posting. I wish you magic moments!

TG - I couldn't figure out how to comment your entry, but I want to say that I really love it! Your vision of the midnight sun is marvellous, and the blue colour is just so right here.

First time to visit your creative blog, Kaylene. If I'd seen it earlier would have tried your challenge. I'm familiar with your Scandinavian Midsummer celebrations from reading your literature--and visiting there last year. Regretfully, I didn't make it to Finland. Wanted to but only Sweden, Norway, and Denmark were on the particular tour that I took. I'm visiting Russia in September and looked for a tour that would start in Finland, but no luck. Someday!
