I took this photo while driving the dogsled on the frozen Wabigoon Lake in north western Ontario, January 2007. It wasn't quite midnight but certainly past 6:00 pm. My cousin was driving the one you see in the upper right corner. I have increased both the saturation and contrast; however, the light that you see IS indeed sunlight even that late in the evening. Temperature: about -20 C (which was pretty darn good considering the season). ps Sorry for the typo error (correct is "..past 6:00 pm."). My apologies esp to Don!!

Cool Blue! This is a lovely shot and from an unusual vantage point! I like how the dogs, sleds and trees are almost silhouetted in this capture which lends it to being quite a pleasant all over image! Well done!

Wow. Much brighter than I would have expected that close to the solstice. Thanks for sharing. I love learning things like this without having to to experience the 20 below.

Did you race in the Iditarod? Man, that looks like fun. It reminds me of the old TV show..Sgt. Preston of the Royal Mounties. (Not sure that is the exact title...been a long time.)

Heheheh....No Jim! I never raced in Iditarod but I can tell you dogsledding is quite fun! In fact, I should apologize if my comments on "Midnight Sun" make it sound like I'm a pro: to be honest, that was only my second time dogsledding! Since then, I've tried it a couple more times and I tell you man, it IS fun!! Thanks for your comments!
