It was almost 9pm when I took this picture on the Sunset Beach in Vancouver. I had still one hour before dark. In this season, around the summer solstice, the sun sets 9:30pm and rises 5:00 here. Considering the twilight times, our daylight length comes to more than 17 hours from 4:30am to 10:00pm. It's almost three quarters of the day! In Japan, the sun sets around 6pm and I used to go to bed 6 hours after that. If I do the same thing here, I am to have no time to sleep. I have to be careful so as not to do overwork. Actually I'm taking a nap about one hour afternoon. It is not laziness but necessity.
