On the 24th of May we had the sun down ceremony. The sun will now not rise above the mountains for the next few weeks, we have a mixture of a sun rise and sun set from 1130 till 1430. On overcast days it feel like there has been no light all day.

We are all slowly getting used to having to start work in the pitch black, it does not start getting light until 11 am, we then only have a few hours of twilight until a sunset begins around 3 pm. Midwinter (June 21st) is quickly approaching, a few weeks after that date the light will then start to increase again!
