Ok, even YOU Dad can't deny that there is definite twilight going on up here now. Took this today at 11:10am from the top of the lab. I would have rather not had the glow from the building in the shot, but I needed the stability of the railing to capture a half-decent image with the slow shutter speed on my "far from high-end" camera. It's getting noticeably brighter every day, and when the sun crests the horizon late February we apparently gain 30 minutes A DAY of sunlight until it's 24 hour daylight.
I played in the pool tournament for the first time tonight. Actually surprised myself and won 2 games and finished 4th. A little more practice is required to beat the big guns with their own cues though :)
This post is in the vein of my "short but sweet" more frequent updates that I'll be switching to in the coming weeks. Again, if you want to be notified about a post going up with a single e-mail, drop me a line at gpope3*@*gmail.com (remove the stars).

ReplyDeleteWell... More like the sea ice that you're near. I'm doing some stuff in support of these crazy people who are going up to map the sea floor. :)
How close are you to ice anyway?
