Midnight Sun

So, the summer solstice is a month away, so there are technically only 19 hours of daylight (with sunset at 10:56pm and sunrise at 3:52am), but that does not mean it is actually dark during the "dark" hours.  It is never dark here!!  Even when the sun sets, it's so close to the horizon that it is still light.  It's crazy!!

Example: last night, I went into a concert around 11:30pm.  It was light out.  I came out around 3am.  It was light out!  The only time it gets reasonably dark at night is when it's cloudy.  It's kind of cool to see for a week but I could not imagine living with that, it really messes with your head.
