Because I have to watch my time fairly closely, I am in tuned with the sunrise and sunset times.  We have, at least in my area, 7 hrs and 59 min. of Daylight.  A minute short of 8 hours.  Now for most of us, we are up and attem to work more than this.  Many go to work in the dark and come home in the dark.  And, the days are still getting shorter.

We now drive in the dark more and don't have as much time to do our outside duties that need to be done.  During the summer, many people complain they can't get to sleep because it is light so late.

So...tell me please...What is everyone's excuse now?  It seams that everyone is a walking zombie.  Even I am getting an extra hour of sleep without any problem of the sun waking me early...and I still feel like I could use more.

So, I will just keep my alarm set and on the other side of the room, and enjoy the sunrise for a change!

Bill - It sounds like you have less daylight in that area than we have here right now.  We get about 11 hours of daylight (roughly 7am to 6pm), maybe a bit less.

Jason...In the winter the farther north you get the less daylight, and in the summer it is the opposite.  Just ask Jesse Clifton from Alaska...he will tell you.  Have a good night!

Hi William!

I moved from Norway to Arizona 12 years ago. Just got fed up with the dark winters. At least out here the sun shines almost every day.

This is the good life!

I sure noticed the dark here in Central Oregon.  It's light here from about 7-5, could be worse.

William,

I am thinking that the short days of winter is the major reason I am more of a summer kinda guy.  Thank you sir for sharing your sunrise tho.

The sunrise time in our area just went past my wake up time this weekend. It makes it harder to get up, for sure. And it's hard to get time to clean up my garden after work- too cold by the time I get home. Oh well, it wil go the other way in awhite.
Great picture.

My wife asked me to get her a "light box" for Christmas.  She doesn't officially suffer from "SAD" but thinks this may help her to get through the long, long Winter months.

Bill, What a beautiful shot of the sunset.   You are right...no time to do extra shores at night anymore.

We get more day light than that around here, but I have noticed that it's getting dark a little earlier now.
