Hello Don, Merry Christmas.
It was Finland. It was very dark indeed most of the time - it went to dusk for a couple of hours across lunchtime that was all. It's dark/winter for 8 months of the year and then of course there is no darkness for the duration of summer - land of the midnight sun.
This has turned out to be a bit of a problem with the photos unfortunately and some of them are too dark really. We tried to capture the northern lights which were superb but the photos aren't wonderful.
We had a wonderful time! I wouldn't mind doing it again next year....
