back to the black

Today is sumarsólstöðurnar, the summer solstice. Not much to say about this one, as it's been eerily and continuously light all night for about 4 weeks now. I've become quite good at just ignoring this and falling asleep every night, sun streaming in the window. Elisa and I were putting the shades down for a while, but now we don't even need that it seems. We were camping last weekend and I woke up at 2:40 in the morning, in time to see a pre-sunrise pink glow in the clouds.

Today's stats:

Sunrise 2:55 AM
Sunset 12:03 AM (tomorrow)

We'll have another month or so of continuous light before some dark comes again, normal-length days through the beginning of October, then it's a freight train to the Heart of Darkness.
