I have been out very late the last several nights to photograph the Summer Solstice,
and the Midnight Sun from my vantage points.
A very arduous endeavor for certain, and now I have many frames that need processing.
This is a 3 frame panorama I took June 22 at 12:30am (Solstice here was the 21st with 19 hours 21 minutes daylight).
It is looking due north, Mount Foraker is on the left, and Denali, the great one
(AKA Mt. McKinley, or "Big Mac" as we call it sometimes) center, with city lights below.
It is said that Foraker is little sister to Denali,
though the latter is a massive granite intrusion while the former is a volcano, very different…
The song, if you care to listen, by Bob Dylanhttp://www.seeqpod.net/cache/seeqpodSlimlineEmbed.swf

I like seeing the lights of town. Reminds me of living in Colorado Springs. On dark nights I could see tiny twinkling lights in the
mountains and watch as tiny headlights made their way home.
Have a great day

Hi Steve:

Steve you are pulling my heart strings, someday we will be in heaven. I have grandson named Dylan and a step grandson named
Dylan. I had never heard this Dylan sing before , now I know why they named my grandsons after him. I wnted to hear the song
