Land of the Midnight Sun..pics...

[Glacier]

Since I was still up anyway, I took some Solstice pics last night. These were all taken at midnight in my yard without a flash and are unedited except for resizing.

Heyoka being a doofus in the trees. Doofus is what he does best! This is my front yard.


The half stained shop. That was as far as Stuart got before he had to go back to camp.

My driveway...shows some of the extensive "Fort Knox" husky proof fencing too!

As close as we get to a sunset this time of year. Officially we get 19 hours of true daylight and 5 of "civil twilight". It is rarely dark enough in the house to require flipping a light on and never dim enought to need a flashlight or the yardlights on outside.

My little shack. There's just no way to get a picture of it without a few dogs in the frame!

"Home, Sweet Home!"

Gotta Love It!

MID-nite, huh?
Iffin you say so!

Lovely photos. I don't know how any of you manage to sleep.

Bad enough here in Calgary where it gets dark at 11 and is light again by 4 am right now.

And if there were no dogs in the frame, I would be asking where they were

WOW - so much light. Is it hard to sleep? You have not always lived up there have you? You were used to NIGHT in summer, weren't you?

You have me wondering Captain....there must be the same (but opposite time) conditions somewhere at your end of the world as well?

Does it occur in Australia? If not...how far south do you have to go to experience midnight sun?

You have to go to Antartica to experience that down here in the Southern Hemisphere, but we have daylight saving here. So between October - March we have one hour extra of light, and April - September we have one hour less as we turn the clocks back or forward.
Of course, if you make a mistake and turn the clock backward instead of forward, you end up being 2 hours late for work!!!

Thanks for asking

You must have a low electricity bill!

That is amazing Tamara . It is currently 5.40PM and just starting to get dark here .

Two days ago (21st June) was the longest day of summer, it became dark at about 9pm.

When I was in Germany in June it used to get dark at about 11 and that was so strange for me. Its like you don't feel like going to sleep cos it feels like its still very early!

Imagine if I lived in North canada.......I'll get so exauseted!!!

You must have a low electricity bill!

LOL, you'd think so, wouldn't you!? But the price of electricity is stupid up here and I run five freezers--one for human food and four for the dogs' food! The bill is actually lower in the winter when I can unplug all the freezers!

[Lobodeb]

As always, Tamara, your photos are breathtaking!

[anna_66]

I find that amazing!

I love your pictures

I had a dream last night I was coming to visit you Tamara...oooohhh it was so cold
