On June 21, 2026, official sunrise was at 5:09 am. Here's our sunrise at 7:53 over the left peak of Goat Island.
Official sunset was 9:30 pm. For us, it was 5:49 over the granite cliff behind our cabin. On the longest day direct sunlight was 9 hours and 56 minutes. Official would have been over 16 hours.
We enjoy indirect light until the sun sets behind the Bunster Range behind us. We call it second sunset when the shadow goes from the bottom to the top of Goat Island. It's fun to watch from our front porch.
Until actual sunset there's enough light to do things outdoors and safely get home in the boat.

The two photos of goat island make for an interesting comparison. You have a wonderfully lovely variety of views.
ReplyDeleteIt’s a view we love. Sunrise over the peak backlights the trees on top and they get an ethereal halo. - Margy
DeleteSuch a lovely place to live. Interesting how the sunlight is so much shortened by the surrounding geography. Gorgeous views.
ReplyDeleteI just visited your page and read about your memoir book launch. What a wonderful way to be introduced by your children with views about their part in the stories. - Margy
DeleteJuly came in with a heatwave here in Ontario, 40 Celsius and more with humidex. Hoping it is cooler by the water where you are.
ReplyDeleteWe had a hot spell a few weeks ago. This last week we needed morning woodstove fires but nice afternoons. - Margy
