URGENT CALL TO REPENTANCE: All the ends of the world shall remember and turn to the Lord. And all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before Thee. For the Kingdom is the Lord’s and He rules among the nations. (Psalm 22:27-28)

Long Days
It's the time of year we Alaskans live for: long days with almost no darkness.
Nearly 22 hours of visible light, and the summer solstice is still over three weeks away.
Very cool. I'm jealous. We get about 17 here in mid-Michigan. I've always wanted a trip to Alaska in June so I could stay up all night in the sunlight!
That's it exactly, Linda; it gets dusky, this far south, but never gets dark for three or four weeks.
TB, it depends on the need. If you want to do things outside, the light is wonderful. Otherwise, you just go about your business with a song in your heart. :)
NFO, I haven't golfed, but my golfing friends say the same thing.
12Paws, it's certainly a novel experience for those from farther south. Come on up!

We loved being able to fish all night and not need a lantern. The garden loved it, too. :-)
So curious, Reverend: do you actually find yourself doing more with more sunlight, or is a nuisance after a while?
Love teeing off at midnight and finishing a round of golf at 0400... LOL

I noticed a definite shift in the amount of daylight by "just" moving from 33*N to 42*N.
I can just imagine what it's like "Up North".
Jim, we live a ways north of 61°. The true "sun doesn't set" is north of the Arctic Circle, but we come pretty close.
