Looooooooong Days
One of the great things about visiting England and Scotland in the early summer is that the days are very long. Because you're so much further north of the equator than we are here in Tennessee the sun sets very late and rises very early. These pictures were made in Edinburgh, Scotland between 10 and 11PM if my memory can be trusted. I just checked a weather website and on our last day in Edinburgh this year the sun will RISE at 4:32AM and SET at 9:52PM, It stays light until past 11PM if it's clear. Yes, those are in sheep in the foreground of one photo. Last time we stayed on the banks of the Firth of Forth (the bay that comes into Edinburgh from the North Sea) which is where these pictures were made . We probably won't be as near the water next time, but we should catch a glimpse of the sea while in Edinburgh. By the way, EDINBURGH is pronounced Edin-burra, not Edin-berg.
