Brighter Days

There was an article in the Sitka paper with the headline "Sun returns to Barrow." I think it was January 25th and it stated that the sun had risen that day in Barrow for the first time since November. After more than two months the city was finally going to see sun again even if it was expected to rise at 1:06pm set at 2:13pm. Here in Sitka we get a little sun everyday, unless it's over cast due to rain. In fact that very day Sitka gained 3 minutes and 57 seconds of daylight. With the sun rising at around 8:00 and setting at 4:30 we're now getting a full 8 1/2 hours of sunlight. Here's a photo of sunset today at 4:30pm.
