Midsummer at Gustavelund Hotel. The original meaning of bonfires is related to fertility, protection and cleansing. The force of the fire was believed to protect from bad spirits. One could draw conclusions from flying sparks and density of smoke about the richness of harvest and later on cinder and ashes were scattered on the field. Photo by: U. Jutta Mannermaa-Rishi, Tuusula, Finland, 2025.
