Sunshine on Leith

Only a few more days till the daylight hours start getting longer in the North. In the meantime, 7 hours of daylight to look forward to.

@bookerdana I'm just along the Firth from Leith, but the song was the inspiration for the title.

@ninalanyon The joys of the far North

@Lugwho Usually I don't mind the short days but it's so warm this year (9 C today) that there is no snow so it's still pretty dark even now almost two hours after sunrise.

On a proper winter day with clear skies and snow on the ground it would be a completely different experience.

Here's the view from the IKEA restaurant window at 11:06

@ninalanyon I hate the short days, but it may be partly the build up to Christmas. I enjoy it once I finish work and the shops are closed.
