	Messages 1 2  Summer solstice. by johnnythemonkey on 21 June 2010 10:18pm   Which is today obviously. It's 10-15pm here in Scotland and we still have total daylight and a clear blue sky. We don't really get total darkness at this time of year. The pessimistic view ? The days now get shorter. :(   Re: Summer solstice. by Spursfan on 22 June 2010 8:07am   I know! I said to Zak yesterday 'it's all downhill from now on!'! But yes it is LOVELY to have long sunny evenings instead of having to shut the curtains and put the lights on at 4 p.m. (or earlier!) which is the other extreme! :)   Re: Summer solstice. by Ken Dunn on 22 June 2010 9:04am   Aye, jtm, I've been waiting for days to be able to tell the missus that the days are drawing in!   Re: Summer solstice. by Loretto on 22 June 2010 12:35pm   It was dark in CT at about 9:15 last night. Pitch black. I miss the long days.   Re: Summer solstice. by kazzzz on 22 June 2010 1:42pm   http://www.independent.co.uk/multimedia/archive/00397/FRONT_397908s.jpg   Re: Summer solstice. by Spursfan on 22 June 2010 4:10pm   Ken - you mean you said to Mrs Ken 'Winter draws on, dear'. Hee hee :)   Re: Summer solstice. by bIG bLOGGER on 22 June 2010 4:43pm   20,000 young people gathered yesterday,June 21st,at a stone circle on Salisbury Plain at Stonehenge in Wiltshire,England to cheer as the sun rose out of a clear blue sky at 4:50AM (BST). They were all there to revel..... ......but to revel in WHAT??   Re: Summer solstice. by kazzzz on 21 June 2012 4:08pm   Well here we are again! Happy summer/winter solstice all!   Re: Summer solstice. by Lounge Trekker on 21 June 2012 10:27pm   It was a twilight or pre-dawn light level at 3:30am Pacific. My sleep challenge is to try to be out as near to nightfall as I can. The good news? The blackout curtains work well enough I don't need to spray-paint the windows black...I'm much to lazy to build shutters.   Re: Summer solstice. by johnnyBgood! on 21 June 2012 10:47pm   Happy solstice K and all. It should still be light here in Scotland but we have had a lot of rain and cloud cover.   Messages 1 2
