Summer Solstice

We are only 8 degrees north of home, but the change is day length and the position of the sun is amazing. Yesterday, the longest day of the year, officially the sun rose at 4:37 and set at 9:37.  The sun may have set technically, but it skims the horizon of another two hours and gets dark after 11pm. It starts getting light at 2:30am. I'm used to the sun drawing a smile in the sky, here it draws an ellipse. It rises at 10 degrees east of north and sets at 10 degrees west of north.  Without a compass, it looks like it sets and rises at the same spot due north.
