Always love this day! I like to stay outside at night until after it gets dark to embrace the "really long" evening 8-)

Happy Summer Solstice Day! :grin:

04:28 to 21:42 here
Not very summer-like though with highest temperature so far this month only 18.2C/64.4F.
Cool and wet the next few days so that might be the highest.
