Dark season has started

The sun doesn’t rise over the horizon, but we still have some hours twilight at midday. But the amount of light is decreasing quickly. The dark time isn’t usually disturbing me too much. The darkness in the town feels depressing, but when we go out outside the town darkness isn’t actually that bad. When we go out we don’t usually have headlights on and then our eyes get surprisingly well adapted for darkness. Darkness isn’t that thight when you’re in it. When you’re in the town under the street lights darkness around you feels unwelcoming. Mountains around you are dark, sky is far away and shadows are unpleasant. But when you’re out of the town, out of the light pollution, darkness isn’t anyhow unwelcoming. The mountains are glowing slightly, sky is bright with millions of stars, sometimes coloured with northern lights, sometimes decorated with shooting stars. Darkness isn’t anything unpleasant around you, it’s just something which is surrounding you.

During this dark season dogs can’t be running free because of outspread of Rabies. Now I can’t go out with my dog as usually but I need to find some other hobby with him, the hobby he can think is fun even though he can’t be running or playing with other dogs. I know that in principle I’m not stuck in the town and under the street lights, but I'm feeling really sorry that my dog who is used for lot of activity and motion can’t be running for who know how long time. So, we're waiting here there is coming enough snow that we could go and use some energy with skiing.
