The midnight sun...

[Glacier]

I wasn't up late enough on Summer Solstice to take any pictures, but I got home very late last night!

The back of my property at just before 1am. Pictures were taken using the "available light" setting on my camera so no flash and no editing, except resizing.

My snowmachine's summer resting spot. Forgot to move it before the snow melted! It's piece of junk anyway, but I should put a tarp over it!

Technically, we get just under 20 hours of true daylight right now, but we get 24 hours of "visible light"...it doesn't get dark. You can run a chainsaw, fish, golf, walk dogs any time of day and not need a flashlight! It will be late July before we start getting any darkness.

Wow! What an adjustment that would be for us southerners... 24 hour daylight? WOW! Do you tell the kids they can play outside until dark like we do? (some southern humor here.....)

I went wild when I saw the tread titled "The Midnight Sun".

I am so fortunate that someone took pictures of this for me to see!!!

I can't imagine living without " night", "darkness". Wild. !!!

The pictures you posted "took" me there!!!! At last, I saw what life is like without darkness!!!!! Thank-you!!!!!!

How much daylight would you get in the middle of winter?

Obviously you have no use for daylight saving up there! We don't need it here either but it's forced on us.

We get the opposite in the winter. In December & January, we get about four hours a day of light, but it's pretty dim light. The sun stays very low in the sky and you don't need sunglasses at all!

We still have to do daylight savings time too!
