Here, as winter approaches the solstice it seems so. Each day the sun rises 4 minutes later, sets 4 minutes earlier. Each day has less daylight in which to accomplish farm tasks. On returns from days out, a vermillion sun blinds the eyes. But this is only the sub-tropics, latitude 28.3323° South.
I remember my time living in London, UK, 51.5074° North. There the summer solstice daylight lasted 8 hours, 49 minutes longer than the winter solstice. Summer evenings seemed to stretch forever. One could go for walks in Hyde Park, on Hamstead Heath or along the Thames and relish the wheeling of millions of starlings in a scarlet sky. On winter evenings the dark closed in early, long before the working day was over.
You, Ele, somewhere close to 41.4993° N, would surely feel the changes of light darkening early as Autumn rushes towards you.
Uh...good answer. The question was silly and based on a statement made by an American icon, baseball player Yogi Berra, wh has a long list of funny things he said. They are called Yogiisms. Quite a philosopher.
""I new the record would stand until it was broken." It's o.k. Element. I understood exactly what you were trying to say. "It's like deja vu all over again." "We made too many wrong mistakes" trying to put the words together and make your point.
I do believe there is still more sunlight than darkness around my house. It gets a little shorter everyday. The moon is catching up night by night. ;)
