Stop in for a cup of coffee
Far more light and less darkness where I come from than in Helsinki.
The first picture, "Midnightsun" is taken at midnight sharp, and you can see how high the sun is. Unfortunately the camera makes everything dark, but you know how much light it is outside when the sun is at that height.
The winter picture is a little before Christmas, or when it is as it's darkest. But it is taken at noon, when it is the most light.
The picture taken at 12:42 is actually 18 minutes before the sun is in north since it is at north at 1 am with daylight saving time. And since it is July 13 the sun is getting low. At July 26 it is totally gone during midnight. The first day it is above the horizon at midnight is May 19.
The third picture is from out at the coast where I grew up, and the big garage is mine.
