I've lived in Finland for most of my 40-odd years but I can never get over how weird the nightless nights feel at the beginning of every summer.

It's 3am and this is as about as dark as it gets. That just ain't right, it ain't natural. Makes a person wish for thicker curtains

I was in Anchorage two years ago in August. The temperatures were wonderful and the place is beautiful but the sun never setting was so strange. Very unsettling to be walking home at 10 PM, in a deserted area that felt kind of dangerous but it’s as bright as sunset.
