Interesting that night is falling in Jamaica about the same time as here.....

Jamaica is an hour ahead of the eastern Caribbean.

 
Ayenmol 2021-12-20 23:39:00 

In reply to openning

Yeah...an hour ahead of me too but the sun seems to be disappearing about the same time....i'd say maybe 15 min apart....i can just see the twilight on the horizon here.... And i think you mean an hour behind the Eastern Caribbean....it means during daylight savings, Jamaica shares the same time as we do. but probably don't have the wild change in sunset....since we gain 2.5 hrs of daylight....m sure they don't.

One hour behind the Eastern Caribbean

Yes...but how late does the sun set there at the Summer solstice?
Tomorrow is the Winter Solstice so it wll be the shortest day i believe for the Northern Hemisphere....so we all begin gaining time from Wednesday.
Here, the sun sets right around 8.45pm at it's peak.

Man, sun rises a full hour later than here but sets half an hour earlier....that means 8.5 hrs of daylight only.
No wonder the Canadian Islanders are so cranky.

I found Denmark unbearable in summer - about three hours of dark. Never spent winter there but I imagine it’s like the North West territory. Not for me.

In reply to openning

yea...sounds about right...usually the gaps stay the same....at opposite peaks.

 
Ayenmol 2021-12-21 00:42:16 

In reply to Chrissy

The only thing is that in the Winter those locales are covered in snow so it is dark but not gloomy....the snow refracts so much light it looks like day.

I peeped in at about 8:20pm EST and noticed a few people walk past the crosswalk and then attempted to
cross the street. One person pointed (seems upset) at a vehicle that didn't stop; wooiee. The majority used it

 
Ayenmol 2021-12-21 04:03:05 

In reply to Brerzerk

Been happening all night...guy dodging cars crossing 50 feet up from the crosswalk.
Saw a very full crosswalk and a guy on a motorcycle with passenger in tow files right past them to make a left without ever stopping like he himself is a pedestrian

 
Chrissy 2021-12-21 09:35:15 

In reply to Brerzerk
There is a traffic light there but folks still attempt to use it when the light is red. On the other hand, vehickples should stop for pedestrians on the crossing if they are turning from Hope Road into HWT Road.

It’s funny what you don’t notice anymore. Our complex has a very high wall with said razor wire and a security guard.

In reply to Chrissy

Is that south bound on HWT road?

I think the traffic going in the direction of constant spring.

 
XDFIX 2021-12-21 15:51:30 

That car park as most are in Kingston should be underground, a waste of valuable real estate! Hopefully, the live cam owner will pick up sponsors or advertisers!

The Dunn's River Falls & Park cam should prove more interesting!

 
Chrissy 2021-12-21 17:06:30 

In reply to camos

There are three or four cameras - Hope Rd into HWT. Constant Spring by Bus Centre into Intersection and Clocktowe going south to Crossroads. We also catch a bit or North and South Odeon
