The days are starting to shorten. It's almost time to "fall back" and go off Daylight Savings Time (Nov 6). I have always felt that they do this thing all wrong. In the summer when it stays light until about 8pm, they try to make the daylight last longer. In the winter, when it's dark by 6pm, we're not trying to make it longer--seems backwards to me.
Brings to mind a place with really long days--Alaska. The photo above is one I took at the Princess Denali Lodge at 11pm in August. It's kind of fuzzy because the light was low--but certainly not dark. As a matter of fact, I woke up during the night about 2pm and it was still somewhat light outside. Now that's Daylight Savings to the extreme!!
