12 Photographs That Prove There's No Place on Earth Quite Like Finland at Night

If you ever happen to forget about just how infinitesimally small you are, or how overwhelmingly beautiful a clear and unadulterated night is, gazing upon Finnish photographer Mikko Lagerstedt's magnificent work should remind you.

The self-taught photographer captures scintillating, long-exposure shots of the night sky, and the beautiful manifold of serene landscapes it rests over. His incredible work is both soothing and unsettling at the same time. Soothing because of the sheer beauty of it, unsettling because each shot instills a sense of diminutiveness - of feeling too tiny for words.

But whatever it evokes in you, it's safe to say Lagerstedt captures the night in some of the most remarkable ways.
