Valborg.



The 30th of April it was the yearly Valborg holiday.
That's a tradition in Sweden that has it's roots at the 7th century a. C. and during which people all over the country starts big bonfires, with the accompany of traditional music and dance.
Hundreds of people are gathering arount the place of the bonfire and it's really interesting to see how the view of the fire affects them. People get magnitised, the eyes stuck on the bonfire, the faces become a little harder (and maybe a litlle scarier).
No wonder that fire had been considered almost divine for thousands of years!
