1am in Alaska... (video, now with DivX format)

[Jugernot]

I'm in North Pole, Alaska (no, not that North Pole, it's a small town outside Fairbanks)... anyway, I was taking my dog out and figured you guys might get a kick out of a video I took of how bright it is outside. It was taken at 1:10am...

We just had our summer solstice yesterday, which is the longest amount of sunlight for the year.

Anyway, here is the video...

1am in Alaska Quicktime (around 7.3megs)
1am in Alaska DivX 5 (Thanks paruhd0x) (around 3.7megs)

EDIT: Here is the sunlight info from Wunderground.com (link):

Length of Day: 21h 44m
Length Of Visible Light: 24h 00m

I'd be shocked if he hasn't.. Heh.

Downloading too.

Jeez Jugs, every time you post, it reminds me that I should call my mom. 😱

Damn, that's awesome. 🙂

I would love to live in Alaska, at least for a couple of years.

Heh, as Eli said.... you'd have to be blind not to in the winter. They aren't visible during the summer months as it's too bright. It's one of the most (if not the most) beautiful naturally occuring things you can see on the earth, IMO. I've seen them in all colors, though green is most common. I've seen red, which is the rarest, but that was at 35k feet in an Airliner. Amazing from that height.

In any case, this winter I'm going to be experimenting around with the slow shutter (13 second) and high aperature of my digicam. I got it too late in the year to take any this year.

You got hot women in bikinis year round... we get women and bikinis for about 3 months a year. Of that, most shouldn't be allowed in a bikini.... though, the upside is that toward the end of summer it's get chilly outside and you know what that does to women's nips in a bikini. 🙂

That is just nasty, young man. You should be ashamed of yourself.

I didn't know you lived out here in North Pole. Whereabouts are you? I am about a mile and a half from North Pole Plaza.

 

[ShotgunSteven]

Check the ArcticCam for live feed, to see how light it is up here at any given time.

 

[paruhd0x]

I can convert that video to DiVX if you want.

 

[Jugernot]

Steve, I'm on the North (??) side of Badger rd, Lakloey hill area, past Dennis road. About 2 miles from the Ft. Wainwright Badger gate. 🙂

If you want, but I think it's small enough that it's not really a big deal. But like I said, I'll host if you want to convert it for me. Thanks

Up, so the day crowd can see a magical Alaskan night.
