Land of the Midnight Sun..pics...

I had lived in Sweden, and it would only get kind of purple-ish around 2am in the summer, that was it. It never got completely dark, and I loved it!! Winter, now that sucked, big time! We'd get maybe 2-4hrs of semi-light, and it was the most depressing thing in the world. I lived outside of Stockholm, so it wasn't even that far up in Sweden, just like 1/3 of the way up from the bottom. Can't even imagine it all the way up where the Lapps live!

Where I live is just a tiny bit higher than Stockholm in latitude so it's probably very similar light conditions.

that is awsome!

Here's a good link to latitudes and longitudes in different cities around the world, I'm on 55°43?N 12°34?E. Seems we're almost on the same latitude, Karen. (KK)
