Hello Anders,
When we hear full moon, most of us earthlings think of darkness and eerie things. Here you post softness, gentleness, even a touch of sweetness. Oh, those northeners...
But you do get me confused. Is that really the moon at the horizon? It looks like the sun. Or is there a full moon behind you somewhere?
Love the soft colours, and the boat adding the poetry.
But watch out for the werewolves. You never know...

Hello Anders,
I like this presentation although it needs some contrast!
The boat is placed adequately to create impact!
The moon is well lit although it looks like the sun!
Anyway a pleasing composition with a question mark!
Regards.

Hej Anders,
A great atmosphere!
The Nordic summer night comes well through here, and I'm really looking forward to nights like this...
A balanced composition, great colours & details!
Greetings,

Hej Anders,
"The midnight sun never sets" but the midnight moon is just as attractive! Very fine Nordic light here and a very good picture. Maybe I like the WS even more!

Gruss gott

Oooh, I like that. Such a strange light, the sort you can only see in the North, in summer.

Hej Anders,
This is a picture with some nostalgic feeling for me, because I have hardly experienced a summer night in the Swedish countryside since I was a kid. There is such stillness in this picture that I can clearly hear the buzzing of the thousands of mosquitos, which I suppose must have been there.
Hälsningar,
Gert

Hej Anders,
this moon reminded me of the full moon among the clouds which I saw some years ago in Stockholm one night in July. Exactly the same colours! amazing...
Very good composition. Stillness, serenity, peace... and a red boat to break the "bluishness" of the scene :)
Kind regards,
Elena
