The further north you go, and the closer to the winter solstice (Dec 21), the darker it gets, the shorter the days are, and the lower the sun is in the sky. I took this picture today around noon, at the sun is this low and this pale on latitude 63° in Finland November 9th. I need to take vitamin D supplements and use a bright light therapy lamp on the kitchen table.

“Tonight is like a combination of Christmas Eve and the night before a colonoscopy.”

The Nordic countries (where I live) are on the same height as Alaska and northern Canada. It's not as cold here thanks to the Gulf Stream, but as dark in the winter. When I visited the US in the summer I really enjoyed the strong sunshine. The sun never gets really strong here even in the summer. Lack of sunshine affects people negatively.
