You may remember how much we were griping about the short winter days this year. I took pictures at sunrise and sunset on the winter solstice at about 8:15am and 3:30pm. Well, we're definitely making up for it now! Here are pictures from sunrise and sunset around the summer solstice. The first picture was taken on our street at about 5am on June 19th (although the sun had just risen, it had been light for quite some time already) and the second picture was taken in Wales after we finished our Mt. Snowdon hike. You will notice the clock tower was striking 10:00pm as I was taking this picture. It was still light even though we were in a valley! Crazy! While it doesn't make us look forward to those short winter days, it sure is nice to have these long summer days as a trade-off. Buddy generally thinks it is time to get us up at about 4am, when it starts to get light, and we have a really hard time quitting play time and coming inside to make dinner before about 9pm. We're sorry that the solstice is already past but we will treasure these pictures during the darkest days of winter!
