Dawn or Dusk? Neither: this picture was taken at midnight and this is about as dark as it is going to get in Nuuk, #Greenland for the #VintageAirRally airplanes on the TransAtlantic.

The sun is one of the most ordinary elements in life, rising and setting every day to create day and night. But every summer north of the Arctic Circle, the midnight sun foils this conventional understanding of time.
Stark white daylight turns into warm evening hues, but still the sun remains in plain sight for one perpetual day.

Midnight sun in Greenland is practically a state of mind, and the traditional concept of time loses all meaning. You may as well leave your watch in your suitcase, because the day has neither a beginning nor an end.
Children on roller skates run down the street in the middle of the night with the sun hanging low in the horizon. Small motorboats chug out of the harbour and groups of people sit dotted around the hills enjoying the never-ending rays of sunshine. During the summer the small communities buzz with life until the early hours.
