That's an interesting find - thanks for sharing that. I wonder if that
would hold true with the newer versions of the competition.

Uuups, silly me. This is what happens when you are communicating with strangers
misunderstandings once in a while.

perfectly quiet until around 3:30, when the birds wake up and start singing. I
find this extended twilight a great source of inspiration. I highly recommend
it.

I somehow suspected this to be the case, simply judging from my own voting
behavior... guilty :-/
Still I find having the three categories helpful in two ways.
They help you to be more clear and disciplined about the
why-do-I-like/dislike-this when you are voting. And then there are those
"outliers", they deserve their fair score.
Also, for those who want to learn from the competition, the score gives them a
liked your image, but hated your concept, or the other way around.

It is probably because the British Isles extends so far north and south and we
are jokingly derogatory about other areas.

work and have often been one of the few people awake. Living in a city you
notice the politeness of shift workers as they will greet everyone they meet
with a hello or good morning.
Have you ever been to the tropics or sub tropics where there is no twilight to
speak off? It is strange one minute it is light then 10 minutes later it is

Yes indeed, that is really weird when you experience it the first time. And
at a very early hour too.

at 7 am sharp they turn it on again! Very disturbing. Especially when you are
not prepared, and have not found a spot to put you tent down for the night, and
temperatures below zero.
sleeping bag outside, watching Orions belt straight up in the sky.

And from someone who relates the temperature to the length of day it seems
especially weird.
