The light pollution (check i.g. What is light pollution? | DarkSky International) is not only a western world problem but also widely known everywhere. Solution is peaceful darkness in silence.
Natural darkness from November to February
In Finland we’ve still got some places even near the biggest cities, where the natural darkness is present. The best time to enjoy is between November and February.
Dark most time of the day
At Farmhouse Sipilä the full night sky is free from artificial light long hours daily (between 3 p.m. and 9 a.m.). (Spot the location 8P9H+Q6 Venetmäki i.g. Light Pollution Map 2026 | Bortle Scale & Dark Sky)
Full moon creates outstanding atmosphere and scenes even with slightly cloudy weather, because the moon is the only illumination.
Boosting he feeling easily
You can boost the feeling by lumberjack’s candles and ice lanterns. Ice lanterns with the possibility to hold a living candle inside even in windy conditions are made when the temperature is well below freezing (between -10˚C -20 ˚C).
One of the most impressive moments is to wander on skis during full moon on the ice of Venetekemä -lake near the house. Full moon exists around the 24th day of the month.
Would you try to hear the singing of the stars?
Did you know that among the tribes in southern Africa the local people have preserved their ability to actually hear the singing of the stars! Could that ability be restored for us in peaceful darkness?
