Everybody's wrapped up in the climate / weather discussion, but the thing that surprised me a bit more was the difference in sunset / sunrise.

I was working on an international team (i.e. a bunch of Americans + one dude from France).

Back in those ancient times, video calls with everybody's face included weren't necessarily the standard, and even when we did them, everyone was typically in an office environment.

Anyway, one late afternoon (for us in the USA) we did a team video call and our French counterpart was sitting outdoors in his back yard and it was still light outside. Although we knew it was 10 p.m. where he lived, it looked closer to the amount of sunlight we'd typically see around 7 or maybe 8 p.m. here in mid-latitude US.

It was kind of interesting, because even in the height of summer at the very highest elevations, it's going to be very dark here at 10 p.m.
