2020 NH Summer/SH Winter Photo Thread, [Spoiler] please!

After that you get to walk over rocky terrain and through pine forests. I was pretty shocked to find that there had been a forest fire in the pine forests, apparently 6 days prior. So weird to visit a place, and then revisit a little over a week later and find that the place has burnt down.


Fishing in the lake wasn't very successful. The ground within 10m of the lake wasn't ground at all, but just a 20cm thick latticework of moss and other plants floating on top of water. I had high heel gore-tex shoes so i was able to get within at least 1m of the lake, but it was super dodgy as you could feel the "ground" within many meters of you just bounce up and down with every footstep, and your feet would sink 10cm into the moss and water with each step, and you'd sometimes get stuck. And when I did fish it turned out that even the "clear" water was full of plant debris, old decomposed leaves, reeds etc. and I was fishing with spinners, so there was no where to cast where the lure and hooks wouldn't catch a bunch of debris. But I found a cool european garden spider. There's an urban belief that this is the only poisonous spider in the country, or at least that it's the only spider in Sweden that are capable of biting people. The latter might be true but I don't know.


And I did get to enjoy the beautiful midnight twilight over the misty lake, with some coffee and chocolate balls.


I drank the coffee in the top of a tree with a panoramic view over the entire lake. Surprisingly enough, a lot less,  and I mean a LOT less, of the lake was actually "lake" compared to the week before. A lot of what was "clear" water the previous time, was filled in by that same latticework roots and plant material and tall grass.



This was one of my most tranquil and peaceful and beautiful Fikas I've ever had.


I also got to see some kind of mammal, presumably some kind of gofer, swimming in the lake. Don't know what kind though. Beaver wouldn't make sense. Maybe an otter? Or possibly a muskrat, although it looked a little too big to be a muskrat.


At a little over 1am I started heading back, but when I came to the main road, I noticed there was a ton of mist over some hills to the southwest, and since I didn't have any hurry to get home I deviated from the road to try and get a view of it. I didn't manage to find a good view of the misty hills, but I did end up finding an absolutely stunning Umeå river. It looks less misty on this image than it did in real life though.


To my eye, the horizon was just a blur of white.



I started fishing here, and fished for hours, and got  watch a panora of twilight turning into sun rise.






I didn't manage to catch any fish though unfortunately. I managed to hook and reel three pikes to the dock, but I didn't have a net, and the hooks weren't great apparently, so all of them got away, and I also hooked 4 other pikes that got loose after just a few seconds.

Then the sky got even pinker
