Time lapse: Difference between summer and winter in Finland

YouTube Description:

This video consists of two synced time lapse sequences. One taken during the darkest winter and the other during the brightest summer. This demonstrates the huge difference in lighting conditions in the far north.All images were taken with a regular webcam. Both the image capture and video composition software were custom coded by me in Python.

This must be somewhere in the south.. Where I used to live, it was even more drastic! I do miss the summers in Oulu, when it never got dark during mid-summer time..

I was just thinking that, it doesn't get that dark here in the summer and sunset at 16:00 in the winter is way too late, it should be like 14:00.
Then again northern Finland could exist in a alternate dimension in where the poles are flipped.

And they wonder why we drink so much coffee.. Try to stay awake without any sunlight.. Yeah, you pretty much have to if you want to stay sane...

It's filmed in southern Finland, you go 500km north and it's way more drastic. But since most of the people live in the south, this shows how it is for majority of people. I live smack dab in the middle, it's not far from this. We get sunsets around 15:00 in the winter and no street lights in the summer. Around mid summer, there's enough light so you can read a book 24/7 outside. At this time of year, sunset is around 21:30 and only getting later day by day. Two months from now, it doesn't set at all..
