Sunrise a Noon

It was actually 11:30 my time, not my camera's time, and sun was just hitting the treetops. Our daylight hours are definitely getting shorter!

That would be hard for me. No sun until noon. When does it go down.

Very pretty scene!

@moonmtn I've gotten used to it! Currently the official sunrise is 10:37 am (although this was a full hour later before the sun rose high enough to hit those trees) and sunset is 3:48 pm. But each day is getting shorter and shorter until we will have only about 3 hours of dim light in the early afternoon at this latitude. We never quite have total darkness, but our sunrise gets to a point where it never actually clears the horizon line.
@zinnia Thank you, Sarah!

@shepherdmanswife Many thanks! I just love this web of friends I have on 365! Especially in this lonely, cold North. (My village only has 250 people.) Thanks again for following.

At least you don't have to get up early to capture that light!
