Fading days

“The fading light is us, and we are, for a moment so brief, beautiful.” - Gary Shteyngart

Since AntA is magical (or situated at the Earth's poles - you choose), the amount of sunlight varies from 24hrs in the summer, to 0hrs in the winter. Seeing as we are well into April, the amount of daylight per day is around 10hrs now, and reducing quite fast. According to 'the Internet', we only have about a month of daylight left, and then...darkness!

Getting up before 8am has become quite a mission since its still completely dark out, so I suppose the wintery darkness has its downfalls too, but as with most things there are the obvious perks, like being able to watch Aurora any time during the day or night (weather permitting that is) or sitting in your windowsill staring at the pretty twilight colors.

Just as the summer sun was new, unique, and amazing, I'm sure this new winter phenomena will also have us in awe.
