Nivaa Harbour, north of Copenhagen, Denmark. June 23, 2015. The rag witch burns at the stake on the traditional bonfire on the beach at the Sound in the Danish celebration of St. John's Eve, or Midsummer Eve. The bonfire events including a cultural speech by a well-known person and the singing of the traditional midsummer song are held by most local authorities throughout the country. But local bonfires and celebrating parties are arranged nearly everywhere. Credit: Niels Quist/Alamy Live News
