One more thing I love about living in the Netherlands? How bright it stays at night during the spring and summer. The other night we were driving along the highway at 10:30pm and this is how bright it still was. This wasn’t a long exposure or anything done to make it seem brighter than it was. It honestly was still almost like daylight. Seriously, in the summer there are days when we go to bed and it’s still totally light outside, it’s weird! I love it though.
In the dead of summer it’s not rare for it to just be getting really dark at 11pm or 11:30pm. In fact, I remember my friend and I going to take photos in the city center last summer and having to wait till almost midnight for it to get properly dark.
It was as bright at 10:30pm as it would be on a winter’s day at 10:30am. I love that… it alllllmost makes up for the dreary winters. Almost.
I still keep on getting taken by surprise when it is still light at 11:00. It’s great though. I love it. So much nicer then winter when it is dark by 5:00
Tell me about it, I love longer days! It’s hard to believe right now that just a few months ago, it was pitch dark by 4 pm. Right now, it’s dark around 9, 9:30 pm, not too bad.
I certainly love the long summer days but … don’t you hate it in the morning when it’s 4:30 am and it’s already light and the birds start chirping outside your window? :o) It makes me wish I had airco to be able to leave windows closed during the summer!
I LOVE the long summer days here. It definitely makes up for the dark winters.
I too love that. It makes it hard going to bed sometimes and now you get those bright sunny mornings at around 6am..those kill me.
It’s funny, I was thinking the same thing last night. Because I get up at 6am I tend to be in bed at 10:30-11… and last night I got up to check on the bunny and at 10:30 it still looked like daylight. I really like it too. Makes me feel like the day just goes on and on and on.
