Kaamos has arrived to Finland.

Basically it means that the days in north are pretty short now. In our northermost town the sun came up 11:14 and went down 12:42. That's less than one and half hours of daylight during the day.

I haven't been that much up north so the only times I've actually experienced kaamos were back in the army. It was pretty strange feeling when you are in the dark for most of the day.

Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

Yeah, I've heard some folks gone up to Alaska say it gets pretty weird, but you slowly get used to it.  "View it like... an extreme Daylight Savings Time".

I can't imagine having so little daylight. I hate leaving work at 5 pm and having it already be dark outside, let alone any earlier than that.
Guys, this is getting creepy. Can we talk about cannibalism instead?

I'd personally love the darkness. It adds atmosphere.

I don't mind the dark or the light, but I hate the parts inbetween where the sun's in my face as I'm trying to drive.

Yeah but they pay for it during the summer with the no night thing.

It also adds to the suicide rate.

Yep.  Areas in the far north tend to be highest in depression.  Sunlight helps improve the mood.  Chemicals in the brain and how shiny it is and all that. 

I prefer the dark too, though, but I know I need to at least open a window now and then.

Or, at least, this time of year (Getting cold for us Northern Hemisphere folks, yay.), unshroud a window.

You could change it with just Paint, I think.  Doesn't that come standard with most compies?

I think Paint can only crop, not resize?  I dunno I'll look at it later I guess x_x

There's a bunch of online services for that. Just google "picture resize online" or words to that effect.
