Simmer Dim

I was driving home just after midnight.
At this time of the year the hours of  daylight are long.  Of course at the end of December its the opposite.......

59 degrees isnt far enough north for the sun not to set . youve got to be above the Arctic Circle for that . The Arctic circle is another 524 miles north .

But we do get prolonged period of twilight , when the sun sets, but not far enough below the horizon  to remove all light.

Its called the Simmer Dim  in Orkney and Shetland

Some pictures I took , going home
