Night... Or day?
Care to guess which time of day this picture was taken?
It was taken at 10 minutes past midnight. I love this time of year, it never gets dark.

Well it's not quite that bright here at midnight, but it is bright enough so that only the very brightest stars are visible.
It is kind of nice though. And the temperature is just right too, so you're not incinerated everytime you go outside.

I'd go apeshit if it never got dark.
Any city gets what it admires, will pay for, and, ultimately, deserves…We want and deserve tin-can architecture in a tinhorn culture. And we will probably be judged not by the monuments we build but by those we have destroyed.--Ada Louise Huxtable, "Farewell to Penn Station", New York Times editorial, 30 October 1963

My sleep cycle would be so screwed up it wouldn't be funny. One day I'll be sleeping at 4am, the next 2pm and after that who knows. I might just end up taking 3 hour naps every 5-6 hours. It would be like having a permanent case of jetlag.RedImperator wrote:I'd go apeshit if it never got dark.

Yes, finding fresh prey is so much harder in the daylight...RedImperator wrote:I'd go apeshit if it never got dark.
Anyway, I probably would too. I like the night. I like driving at night when it's dark out, and whenever I get the chance just being out at night is something I like to do. I can't really explain it, but it's just something soothing or calming about the night sky.

How did 'Batman Begins' me put it?
'Bats are nocturnal'.
How am I supposed to function if it never gets dark?
Besides, this would wreak havoc with my sleep cycle.

Not quite apeshit, but the midnight sun and winter darkness make me feel mildly bipolar sometimes. My first summer in scandinavia, I was living in student housing which had nice, thick curtains which blocked out all the sunlight. The following summer, I was living with my signifiant other, who comes from waaay up north and only had thin curtains, being used to the sun at all hours of the day. I couldn't sleep. I'd just toss and turn for hours and not surprisingly be very cranky the next morning. Fortunately, the purchase of a black curtain solved that problem.RedImperator wrote:I'd go apeshit if it never got dark.
I find it really easy to lose track of time as well. I'll start reading or working on something at say, 6pm. After a while, I feel like I've been been at it for an hour or two, but when I check the time, its 11pm.

Try and visit during the winter months. At 4PM it's dusk, at 6PM it's pitch black and doesn't get bright again until 10-11AM next day. It's alot easier to go apeshit when it's hardly ever bright.RedImperator wrote:I'd go apeshit if it never got dark.

Pah, half the time when I go to sleep it's light out already (as in, it's gone past dark, back into light). I would actually dearly love to live somewhere where it's light all night. That would be ridiculously awesome. I can guarantee there would be some cool midnight shenanigans.

Of course where it is light all night it will also be dark all day....
That might be just as bad.

All day day doesn't seem too good.

The long hours of dark above the arctic circle comes with the mixed blessing of the northern lights. When they are good, they are absolutely spectacular. When they are not, they're just annoying light pollution. You don't get them all the time though; they just seemed to be conspiring against us this past winter when we would ski out away from civilization to stargaze.Vanas wrote:All day day doesn't seem too good.

Note to self: If ever need to torture RedImp, kidnap him in summer and put him in a glass house without curtains somewhere in northern Lapland for a few weeks...RedImperator wrote:I'd go apeshit if it never got dark.
I like summer, the long winter nights are a lot more depressing, especially in the city where you can't rewally see the stars from all the light pollution. But above the Arctic circle with the midnight sun, that'll really fuck up your sleep cycle, what with the sun just doing a circle around the sky.

I too would like an "All Night Day" rather then an all "Day day."
I love the night and I function very well in the dark. I love the cold as well and, living in the lan of 115* summers, a feew days or weeks without the sun would be quite welcomed. Plus the stars, god, I can only imagine the views of the sky.
