It is a sunset taken from my front porch. We get some world class sunsets here in winter.

I am located in Anchor Point, Alaska which is the farthest west you can drive a car to in N. America. Sunrise, this time of the year, is 9:26 AM and sunset is 6:12 PM. On our shortest day sunrise is 10:04 AM and sunset is 4:03 PM. The longest day is from 4:46 AM till 11:26 PM. But...dusk and dawn hours are long due to the shallow angle of the sun.That means that in winter you can add about an hour or so usable light to morning and evening, in summer twilight is about as dark as it gets. All of this gets more extreem as you get further north.[/quote]
So your not too different in times than the lower 48. I've had friends that lived further north. Not sure I could get used to that. Although, Alaska is on my bucket list.
