When I visited Alaska for several months many years ago, I had my first experience of "perpetual" twilight. I stood at the end of our road where we were staying near Talkeetna and held my arms out wide, the sun in one palm and the moon in the other. Surreal indeed!
Years later, in 2012 I was able to visit my husbands family summer home in Denmark, we stayed for a few weeks in June, and it became apparent to me why, for centuries, people slept in "closets" or had curtains around their beds.
I was prepared the next time we visited, I brought "black out" curtains in my luggage because I can't sleep with a mask.
We get long days here too, but nothing like your Maxfield Parrish skies! Wow!
