Hello darkness??

[Luke]

I don't know if anyone else has noticed, But daylight seems to be hanging around for longer lately.

I'm in Melbourne, Australia and have had the same day job for the past 3 yrs, I've always been woken by my alarm at the same time but the outside light conditions have changed.

At the moment, we are in DST, so an hour is shifted forward so we gain more sun in the afternoon etc.. Anyway the result of this is usually a significant difference in the time the sun goes up and down and you notice things, for example during DST I would usually get to work while it's still dark.. But I feel like I haven't seen darkness for ages!

At the moment in Melbourne it becomes light enough to drive without headlights at about 515-530am and doesn't get totally dark til about 930-10pm...
Is this normal?
I've never noticed this before. Normally in summer daylight is usually present from 630-7ish am until 830-9pm..so where all this light coming from? (I'm aware it's probably the sun)
Is anyone else noticing this?
am I paranoid? Ha ha

Just doesn't seem right.

I read this a while back, perhaps thats the reason

The Inuit Eskimo elders from Canada and Greenland, the sun in a different place today than a few years ago and it is higher in the sky than usual.

They do not just talk about change on the Sun, the position of the moon and the stars are in different positions. Even the way the wind is different than before, say the Eskimos.

They are now agreed on the cause: the earth is tilted towards the north.
