Ain't No Sunshine

I have a local news app in my phone and yesterday there was a notification saying that there was not even an hour of sunshine in the whole month of December in my city. Fuck. No wonder we are so depressed in here. Not even an hour!?

I'm definitely feeling down in terms of motivation for photography, with the lack of natural light. And even when there is those five hours of natural light per day, it's through a thick grey mass of clouds and I ain't feeling it! Every day there is a couple minutes more light, but it'll be a while until we get some proper lightness in here.

Can't wait to haul my little tush under sunnier skies, purely for health reasons, obviously.

Nice Click It's Like Hidden Sun

"Can't wait to haul my little tush under sunnier skies". You and me both. And I live in the "Sunshine State". My wife wants to move north to Idaho. I think I would go insane!

it is darkest just before dawn. you will wake up to light, but the night will hold on for all that it has

A little sunshine for you today all the way from Australia.

Thank you, that did make me smile :)

No worries. I was saying to @bulleth tonight that we can upload sound and video files, but not scent ... yet. I know intelligent polymers, capable of conducting electricity, are used to "smell" olive oil for additives. Long way of saying: if I could have sent a "scent" file today of the river peppermint eucalyptus in our summer forest to brighten your winter day I would have. How cool would that be?

@eveuncovered. Inadequate exposure to sunlight can lead to depression or Seasonal affective disorder(SAD). you definitely need some Sun-time.

Well land looks beautiful. so it is still better than mordor :)

Only slightly :P

@eveuncovered Hang in there! It will Spring soon enough.

But the light is so soft!

Vancouver in Canada is like this. All rain, no sun. Hang in there. You'll make it out alive!

A testament to the hardiness of life itself.

How do you even live with with no sunlight ? :/

I truly do not know! We didn't even have a proper sunny summer in 2017 to recharge the batteries.

Not even an hour?! That's crazy! Where do you live? We've had just around seven hours of daylight and I feel kind of down from that...

In the middle of Finland.

Ah ok, makes sense! What's the place called? It's not too far from me ;-)

Cool Finland! Never been to Europe, but always wanted to check it out. I live in Colorado, and during this time we expect a lot of snow, but it's been pretty sunny! I wouldn't mind trading some of your snow for some of our sun. Deal? In all seriousness, stay positive! Your moment of perfect lighting will come at the right time :) this photo is still gorgeous, too. I love the way snow falls on trees.

Denver, Colorado, is on the 39th northern latitude. Where our hostess lives is on the 62nd. Huge difference terms of daylight hours.

They do say Colorado is the sunshine state! 300 some odd days of sunshine a year, I believe. Love living here :)

I should've added "at this time of the year". Winter solstice was a couple of weeks ago. But try summer solstice. The sun will hardly set here.

Thats no ray of light! Don't know how you cope. You've got Steem behind you. Chin up and think of sunnier skies, can't say much without rubbing it in, not my intention :)

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone! - that's what sounded in my head reading the title. It is so sad to live with that kind of weather. I feel sad even after a few days like that, it is impressive that you are able to make it on that weather so long. I really hope the sun will shine in your city soon, for you, for your hands and your plant. If not, you should really deserve a vacation somewhere on a nice and sunny island!

And know the song is stuck to your head? ;) Maybe some day we just can't cope with the darkness anymore and we wither away like flowers in autumn.

Omg, it is clear that the lack of sun is making you sad... it is so hard to say go to a vacation when you think that it is not so easy at all to just take a plane to a sunny destination. It involves pretty much money and free time, but I really hope you will be able to achieve them both at the same time soon.

You see the rewards I’m making atm.. I think I have to put them to good use soon ;)

Buy a house next to the beach? I would recommend this to you! Somewhere in Spain or even Greece, that would be awesome!

just wait for it ...coming soon ..

beatiful place!!!

Beautiful photo. Sounds like Seattle with no sun 🙂

Spectacular views, keep it up, go through my blog and see my new content, greetings :D

eveuncovered!! Thank you, your Post.

The weather's going to change on Sunday. The sun is going to shine.

Exactly ;)

Super Foto!

Wow. Can't imagine Nigeria without sunshine 😂. I should have dedicated my sunset 🌇 post to you. I love this picture too. ♥

Did I hear that correctly.... not 1 single hour of sunshine in an entire month?!?!
