Winter light, winter time

Now we are moving towards darker times..well, at least we get less light per day. Colours of different kind are always there if you try to look for it. Most is different kinds of blue shades, but sometimes it is stunningly beautiful with many different colours.

We live 100 km north of the Arctic Circle, and this makes a lot with the light in many ways. In the summer the sun never sets and in the winter the sun is just below the horizon for a few weeks. On the other hand we always have snow – often a lot of it – during that time so there is pretty good daylight for perhaps four or five hours even just before Christmas.

The dawn and dusk has light and colour fenomena that are unusual in other places, not to mention the Northern Light. Patricia Cowern in Porjus has succeded in catching both the winter light and northern light very successfully, see her site here. Watch via the live web-cameras!

Go out and enjoy daylight and it’s colours every day, preferrably within 1-2 hours after awakening, and you will help your biological clock to keep the biorhytm and you get less trouble with sleeping. As a minimum, use the lunch to see the daylight, all winter long.

Speaking of biological clock, you haven’t forgotten to switch back all other clocks to normal time last weekend, have you? It is good to have an extra hour to sleep in the morning, but it’s getting dark an hour earlier in the evening instead. I always get tired early after summer time is ended.

It is less than two months to Christmas and in about one month the Christmas Sale is in full action. I saw Advent stars at the mall last Friday… After Christmas and New Year it starts to get lighter again. The dark time is after all pretty short.
