Blue Forest

Christmas cheer For the Solstice

Some Christmas cheer on the dry cabin gives us some color for our looong "blue hour" on the winter solstice. Tomorrow at 2:03 pm Alaska time the earth's northern axis starts to point sunward again. In Fairbanks tomorrow sunrise: 10:58 am sunset: 2:40 pm On the 22nd we gain 9 seconds of daylight!
