Midnight Sun

Posted by Mooie (Vancouver, Canada) on 10 March 2013 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

The view from Keno Hill is north facing and the valleys below so fast that you can watch the end of the suns arc downwards and the beginning of it's ascent in about half an hour. It will feel like "dusk/dawn" for between 6-8 hours. This is at about 6am a few days after the solstice.

I am not sure how or when, but posting on this blog has become my most accurate platform for creative expression. It's so inspiring to browse through other blogs and every comment is very appreciated!

The smoothness of the water is hypnotically beautiful, and the whole shot rocks.

@Rick: Thanks a lot! I didn't notice that part when I posted (this shot is kind of old).... and I have a feeling the part that looks like water might be part of my 4Runner.

Intensely quiet sunset shot.

Gee that is some gorgeous midnight sun, it looks like a scene from a movie like dream...Hypnotic really is the word! Love the bottom and the whole shot.

@Abena: Man, everybody is diggin' that bottom bit... which I think is my truck!

Steve Rice from Olympia, United States

This is gorgeous. My eye is drawn to that pool of perfect light being reflected off a lake, perhaps.

@Steve Rice: Thanks a lot... The "lake" is my 4Runner... which I think now has a nickname :-)

The Summer Solstice does have a magical effect on whoever sees it

@CElliottUK: It does! Every year I feel a little tug on my heartstrings to head back up there :-) I take it you have seen it, then?

CElliottUK from Reading, United Kingdom

I did actually see sunrise at Stonehenge about 5 years ago. Now, before you get all misty eyed with thoughts of just a few druids and me communing with the sun....if I told you that 20,000 people were there, and it was cloudy, so no one saw anything anyway. you have a more accurate picture!!!!

@CElliottUK: Well I'm definitely misty eyed... but for the missed expectation of 20,000 druids. And you. :-)
