Lazy Saturday evening....

Lazy Saturday evening...., originally uploaded by benny ng.

..with no spectacular sunset.

Sunsets in our part of the world is so short! And if there are thick clouds, you can forget about it.

I always enjoy sunrise and sunsets in temperate climates. Being in countries on a higher lattitude, the duration of these beautiful moments are also much longer than the 15 minutes we get over here. I will always remember trying to wait for the sunset in Scotland during July 1996 at the Loch Ness. We started at 6pm and left at 12.30am when we ran out of food and water. And it was still bright and the sun was far from reaching the horizon.

All's not lost, we do get a good 12 to 13 hours of daylight year round. Great for outdoor fun.

Cheers,
