9 PM in Minnesota [OC]
I moved from much further south where it gets dark quick and early and I'm amazed by how bright it is at 9 pm in the evening here. I started taking pictures every night, because I wanted to compare light levels between days as we approached and passed the summer solstice. All of these were taken within a two week period, five minutes of 9 pm each night, with the exception of pic 7 which was taken at 9:10 because I was late but it was still beautiful. I'd love to travel even further north one summer and experience the midnight sun effect.
