Nanuq Posted June 17, 2007 Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 Alaska... land of the Midnight Sun! I took these tonight, with no flash. This is ambient light here in the far north. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted June 17, 2007 Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 Great shots Nanuq. We get the midnight sun here in Scandinavia too. There's nothing like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephane Posted June 17, 2007 Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 Congrats Nanuq and thanks for sharing beautifull shots once again. @BT Isn't it so that lots of Scandinavians are having a national huge party soon when the sun only sleeps for an hour or so. I went in Sweden, Stocholm, several times but never had the chance to be there around this period of the year... I'd love too. It must be an incredible sensation...Have fun.

FxrAndy Posted June 17, 2007 Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 Not quite the same quality of watch (by a long way) and 12 hours difference in time and few thousand miles. Midday in Germany. Nanuq, love that watch mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertk Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 Yes.........and the rest of us in the lower 48 will be getting a good night's sleep! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 @Stephane: Yes, we really do. Most of the Scandoscums just use the Midsummer as an excuse to get shitty drunk. I don't drink or smoke, but I guess I could take a few beers too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 Funny thing, that midnight sun.....A lot of tourists come to the northern parts of Norway to see the midnight sun....One couple even managed to write a letter to their travel agency asking for a refund "since the midnight sun was exactly the same sun they had where they lived" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 Hah, you think Midnight Sun is interesting, in Alaska we are also the Land of the Noon Moon. In winter it is quite common for the sun AND the moon to both be high in the sky at the same time. Show off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
