In Alaska, as mid-winter approaches, the days get shorter and shorter. Depending on how far North you are (BIG state) by midwinter the sun does not rise. In summer, days get longer and longer until, mid-summer, the sun does not set. Alaska has beautiful blue skies in the summer- and while it may be dark in winter, there is often color in the sky- the Northern Lights put on quite a show in the sky.
