[edit]Hello Slaunger, your photos are truly incredible!! I’ve used two of them for the 469th ArchiGuesser ! Thank you for your excellent work !! Flibust1er (talk) 08:53, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
- Hello, Flibust1er, Thanks for telling me about your usage of these nine year old photos for ArchiGuesser and thanks for the attribution there! I recall taking them from a ferry from Aarhus to Sjællands Odde at a time, where not many buildings had yet been build on Aarhus Ø. Funny that these photos have an almost historic touch to them now. Since then the ferry departure site has moved to another pier and it is no longer possible to get this sight from that ferry. I tried the guess myself on ArchiGuesser, but only guessed it on the second photo - that was before I had read which picture you had used, haha. I should have known after the first picture as I was in one of those apartments about 6 months ago after moving to Aarhus. Funny coincidence! Best wishes, -- Slaunger (talk) 15:02, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
- Hello Slaunger, that’s a very interesting story here! Your photos are the last remains of this beautiful sight, a blessing you saved it with this incredible quality! I’m very happy you’ve tried the game, I hope you enjoyed it! Thank you again! Best wishes too, Flibustier Flibust1er (talk) 21:37, 13 October 2023 (UTC)

Mitternachtssonne
[edit]Moin. Ich habe deiner Benutzerseite entnommen, dass du gute Deutschkenntnisse hast. Daher werde ich versuchen mich auf Deutsch auszudrücken. Ich wechsle ansonsten gerne zu Englisch, wenn dir das lieber ist.
Ich bin auf eines deiner Bilder gestoßen, welches du während des Sommers in Grönland aufgenommen hast. Ich habe mich an dem Datum orientiert, welches du dort angegeben hast. Ich habe die Dauer der Mitternachtssonne überprüft und festgestellt, dass diese nur bis zum 06. August sichtbar war und die Sonne zum (vermeintlichen) Aufnahmezeitpunkt deines Bildes etwa 2 Stunden lang nicht zu sehen gewesen sein dürfte. Von der Mitternachtssonne sprechen wir jedoch nur, wenn die Sonne 24 h lang nicht untergeht. Bleibt es die Nacht über hell (Dämmerung), obwohl die Sonne zwischenzeitlich untergeht, spricht man von einer Weißen Nacht. Ich habe die entsprechenden Änderungen an deinem Bild bereits vorgenommen.

- Hi Lukas, Thanks for reaching out to me in relation to this image I took of my shadow on August 8, 2007. I am perfectly fine with you writing to me in German. I understand written German fairly well, but do not feel I can express myself sufficiently accurate in German, so I will reply in English. Your question took me 18 years down memory lane and I do remember the evening quite clearly. You are correct that at this time of the year in 2007 there was a sunset and a sunrise. The midnight sun period for that summer actually ended already July 23 at 01:11 am local time according [date and time https://www.timeanddate.com/sun/@3418912?month=7&year=2007]. I recall seeing that although I do not recall the exact date. On August 8 the sun set at 23:04 and rose again at 4:12 on August 9 according to [date and time https://www.timeanddate.com/sun/@3418912?month=8&year=2007]. My own recollection of the evening was that the sun set a few minutes past midnigth, and I noticed that just around midnight just before the sun was setting my shadow was extremely long and I thought that could be an interesting picture to take. I can see on the EXIF data for the image on the file page it says 00:10, 9 August 2007. Now, the clock on my camera was not automatically synchronized with any data source. I recall setting the time to the local time when I arrived May 31 2007, and I consider it likely to be accurate within a few minutes here a few months later and this is why I used the term "in midnight sun" for the file name as at midnight local time the sun was not yet completely set. Now the date and time site says suset was 23.04 and I have the recollection of a few minutes past midninght, which seems to be likely based on the image EXIF data, so I am a little confused about the origin of the 1 h offset. I see the date and time site assume summer time was used, but I do not recall if there was summer time that year in Greenland, but summer time could perhaps be the resons for my perception of having sun at midninght. I hope that explains. -- Slaunger (talk) 18:43, 22 October 2025 (UTC)
- Daylight saving time can be very deceptive. This summer, I was at the North Cape in northern Norway, and I really wanted to stand on the plateau at midnight. I managed to do that, but I had to wait until 1 a.m. because daylight saving time (in my opinion, a sin) also applies in Norway. As far as I know, it also applies to Greenland. Thank you for your reply and for the pictures from Greenland. Lukas Beck (talk) 19:31, 22 October 2025 (UTC)
