here in Alaska, the long hours of daylight (including the midnight sun) are fascinating to us, as well as those from elsewhere.
For the record: sunset tonight is officially 11:41 p.m., but the sun barely dips below the horizon. It won't get dark (okay, dusky) until 1:29 a.m., and the pre-dawn light comes at 2:33 a.m. Official time for tomorrow's sunrise is 4:21 a.m.
It's almost too dark to go walking for about 90 minutes in the wee hours, give or take, but that's all. If you have really understanding neighbors, you could mow the grass at midnight. I'm not recommending it, mind, but it's possible.
We won't start having any actual "night-time" darkness for another few weeks. So unless you're one of those who simply cannot sleep if there's light in the room, it's an awesome time of year. The nearly-constant sunshine is great compensation for the long winter months.
John 12:24 "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit."
