Yep. The effect is beautiful - you drive into almost total darkness, but 
can see light shining far away on both sides.

Hah :D. I guess mostly Swedish? So far I'm under impression that they've 
done more thrillers than other Scandinavian countries.

OTOH, there's nothing scary to park where I parked to take those pics, 
but I still won't leave the car with lights off at there even for a 
moment. There isn't a proper space to park so other drivers has to be 
able to see the car. On my own yard the feeling was much worse, 
something was certainly moving at the corner of my sauna. It wasn't a 
cat, because it didn't care when I stomped - so it was either something 
much smaller or something much bigger... The fact that I couldn't find 
it with a flashlight even though I still heard it makes sure it was 
something smaller - probably either a mouse or a frog. Or it wasn't alone.

That does sound absolutely stunning, like a slightly boosted natures own 
parade.
