Length of day: 6 hours 54 minutes


Light reflections, originally uploaded by jiihaa.

Today was a dark day. It was dark already before 3 pm, thanks to a thick rainy cloud cover. Fortunately the rain stopped at some point, but it didn't do much for the darkness. Some light reflected down from the clouds, that was all. But the camera can capture light even where the eye struggles, as shown in the photograph.

In the northest part of Finland the sun is now below horizon all day. Of course, some light is available near noon, but still...

Well, at least the summers are on the positive side :)

Then there is the problem of getting sleep when it is light all day. I once was in a week-long seminar north of the Arctic cicle, and one of the foreign participants finally slep in the bathtub - he closed the bathroom door to get complete darkness...

At least that's not a problem that I have: I can sleep anytime :)
