What a unique baseball experience. At just 160 miles south of the Arctic Circle, on June 21st the Fairbanks "sunset" consists of nothing more than the sun just barely dipping below the northern horizon for a little while. The sky remains sufficiently lighted for a ballgame to be played without the use of artificial lighting. In this case it was a three and a half hour, thirteen-inning, 2-1 victory for the home team. My only regret was the afternoon started becoming overcast as game time approached so we didn't really get the full effect of the sunlit sky. |
