Daylight

This is the view from our balcony.  Before you read the rest of the post, can you guess what time of day this photo was taken?  Note:  Other than cropping, it’s SOOC (straight out of the camera).

10PM in Brussels

View from our Balcony

It was shot at 10PM. Were you close? The hours of daylight here are crazy. In the Summer, the sun rises at 5:30AM and sets at 10PM.  It really throws me off.  I tend to forget about dinner until it starts getting dark, but that’s way past a decent time to eat.  And Thomas, who wakes up with the sun, has been waking up way too early.   I just bought some fabric to see if I could make some darker curtains and give us a couple more hours of sleep.   On the otherhand, I really appreciate the extra daylight, since the winter is the opposite with a late rising sunrise and early sunset.

    Go with blackout fabric if you can, it should make your room extremely dark. Jenna and I had to do the opposite though because we were oversleeping.

    10 PM… that’s amazing. It looks like twilight or a hazy afternoon.
    Like you, I keep serving late(r) dinners, because the light throws me off.

    Send me your window measurements if you want me to mail you blackout fabric that is stored in my closet. I bought it for your dorm room and we never used it.
