I wear my sunglasses at night

Thursday, May 25, 2006

You know that wonderful time of evening, after you've grilled the food, eaten and settled in? It's that lazy dusk sky creeping up on you and easing you from the brightness into the night. Well here, right now, that time of day is extended by about five hours. I can't say that it feels exactly like dusk, it's sort of it's own sort of tired light, but comparable for purposes here.


Photo taken last night at 10:22PM. The lightmachine works overtime this time of year here. The lightmachine gets incredibly lazy in the winter months, but right now it's juiced with some sort of fuel. Rumor on the street is that the lightmachine will continue to pump out late night rays at an increasing rate until the end of June at which point we'll begin that long and slow descent into black.

What time in the AM does the lightmachine start back up?

we just did some research here at HQ and the official sunrise for today was 3:55AM. but the sun is barely setting, so even before this official rise there are still hints of light. i'd say that it's only real dark between like midnight and 2:30AM.
