Light in the night

From the collection of my 6gb of pics, here's the best of the sun at night. Explosions of orange, pink and blue. Some of the nicest pictures coming from the night of 28 July - early morning of 29 July when we went on a boat trip. It was good coz we were out at sea and covered a number of places during the trip, not to mention it was a clear clear night. Double bonus.

The midnight sun lasted till around early August. Setting at around 9 by the end of August. Each day the sun set about 5-10mins earlier, and by the time i left in mid October it was dark by 6pm.

And so winter had secretly arrived.

a few minutes less each day:
today:
sunrise: 0839
sunset: 1453

tomorrow:
sunrise: 0844
sunset: 1449

Even autumn is over, daily temp. between 3 to 6 degrees. It has not snowed anymore but now with the rain there is alot of slushy ice and puddles. trees have shed their leaves, but you remember that rose bush under the window, the leaves are still green!
