Days Are Getting Short On The 61st Northern Parallel

I shot most of these images shortly before 4 pm today. The sun set at 3:44 pm today. The sun rose at 8:18 am. Seven and a half hours of daylight.

I took a walk on the grounds of Mukkula Manor, a hotel these days, and a nearby cape.

I continued walking towards the park. I remember visiting this place three years ago at Midsummer. It was also at sunset but at about quarter past eleven pm! The light was very similar.

I took out my 70-300 mm lens for this shot of the ski jumps about 3.5 km away.

I walked past the manor back to the parking lot.

You've captured really fantastic pastel tones in these images!
I love how the butter-coloured main building stands against the brown and green field surrounding it.
Can I ask you used a tripod for these images, because your horizon is razor accurate. 🤔😄
Keep up the great work! 👏🏾

Thank you for your kind words! I did not use a tripod. I processed the images using Darktable and straightened them with that. Using a tripod was almost necessary because there was almost too little light.

Interesting!
Nicely done then. Sunrise/sunset photography requires steady hands. Keep up the good work! 🙌🏾

At winter solstice a few days before Christmas, the length of day is at its annual minimum. Where I live, the time between sunrise and sunset is 5 hours and 26 minutes. At summer solstice, it is 19 hours and 16 minutes.

In December and early January, it is dark when you go to work and it is dark when you return home.

Persistent snow normally falls in early December and melts away in late March. That's when the diurnal average temperature remains below freezing. February is the coldest month and January is almost as cold. Here, the average daily maximum is -3 C and the average nightly minimum is -10 C in February. But it varies a great deal. The daily maximum can be +5 C for weeks on end or -30 C. There can be half a meter of snow or none at all.
