Over 16 hours of sunlight

It's only 2 more days until the longest day of the year here. For those of you not from a northern latitude, this graph represents how long our day is at this time of year. As you can see, dawn begins around 4:30am and the sun comes up a little after 5am. It's set by just before 10pm and the dusk gives way to (almost) dark around 10:45pm. I say almost dark because there's an ever so slight band of dusk on the northern horizon all night as the sun comes back around. Ahhhh.................... summer.
