Hallgrímskirkja in Reykjavík (Iceland) covered in sun at midnight on the summer solstice
Tomorrow morning I’m heading north again. Tomorrow night I’ll spend the night in a ship hotel in Stockholm, and Friday I’ll head even farther north. I’ll have to bring the sleeping eye mask to get a bit of darkness.
I won’t make it quite as high north as I was in Iceland, but I don’t think it will get completely dark in Gävle.
I didn’t have class today so I went for a bike ride. First stop was Grundtvig’s Church. The sky was overcast when I left my place in Valby, but by the time I arrive blue sky was beginning to appear. This made my exterior photos much better.
I would love to hear some music in this place. Unfortunately, the night-time concerts seem to be on break until August, and the day-time music is on Wednesday when I’m teaching.
Should you ever be biking to this church, I recommend approaching from the west, through the cemetery. It’s much more spectacular than from the south, which is how I arrived.

Meiji Mura’s St. John’s Church (聖ヨハネ教会堂) from Kyoto (1907)
I was a bit surprised to find my random, desktop image of the day to be from Japan. But Meiji Mura is no ordinary place in Japan. At Meiji Mura you can find old buildings from all over Japan that have been moved to this location to continue to exist. Soon St. John’s Church will have spent more time in Meiji Mura than it did in Kyoto as it was moved to its current location in 1965.

There are many plazas in Guanajuato. This one was my favorite as I found it by accident, it wasn’t crowded, and it was a lovely place to chill for a half hour.
