Tundra Sky


It is now a month after the summer solstice and the Sun is setting at a more reasonable time and it actually gets dark at night now. Because the we are so far north the sun does not just slip down below the horizon, it skims along it, slowly sinking below it. This means that the rich evening light, a time refered to as the "golden hour" by some photographers actually lasts for more like 3 hours.

That's rather lovely Tom. It shows the bleakness of Tundra and yet has a nice warm glow.
Good stuff, keep 'em coming and Happy Birthday.
