It's true that the darkness gets to you after a while. It isn't as dark as some of the other places in Alaska; there's never a full 24 hours without daylight, but we will continue to lose 6-7 minutes of light each day until the Winter Solstice. Since my arrival I have spent the daylight hours (roughly 10am-3pm) at work, so today was the first day that I actually got the opportunity to get out and about in the town while the sun was up. I have to say that this is hands down one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. These are a few pictures that I took with my phone along the Richardson Hwy in Delta Junction, AK:

I also got the chance to see the Northern Lights on this same night, but unfortunately none of the pictures turned out well on my phone. I can't wait until my camera gets here and I can start taking some decent pictures! These definitely don't do it justice.
