As I'm still recovering from a weekend that involved far too much fun and too many late nights, I don't have the mental stamina for an in-depth, insightful post today. So instead I will show you pretty pictures of some recent sunsets...
I can add some interesting commentary, however, to make this post worthwhile! These sunsets have been appearing later and later. Last night's show was around midnight, but it didn't get dark until a couple of hours after that. Sunrise was at 5:50 am, but it started getting light well before then. So in effect, we are getting 18 hours of sunlight, and just a few hours of real darkness. Which makes it easy to stay up late without realizing it. Which explains why I'm both tired and strangely energized today!
Inuvik is still beautiful. The snow is melting, but there's enough of the white stuff around to keep it pretty, and not too muddy yet! I've heard that the town turns into a mud bowl for a couple of weeks as the permafrost melts, before it dries into dust. Not looking forward to that!
However, temperatures have been around freezing at the warmest point during the day, so it's enjoyable to be outside. And the blue sky is breathtaking. This is a picture outside my house a few days ago...
And now for the gratuitous pictures of pretty April sunsets! All taken from my upstairs windows at home.
