| There seems to be a "golden" quality to light in autumn, and a harsher light in summer. I'm not talking about length of days, etc., just the light itself. Is this imagination? Or is the difference in weather or tilt of the earth making a real difference in the type of light? Photographer friends tell me they take the seasonal light into account when doing outdoor photography because there is a difference. |

| The light has to travel through a longer distance of atmosphere in winter and do get dimmer. |

| yep... there is a difference.Migrating birds are thought to 'navigate' with 'light' once they reach an elevation that is above the surface environments.. the height of there flight apparently gives them better directional reference.. Other theory's are that they 'see' gravity waves, or, follow heat thermals .. or are biologically or genetically engineered with a compass of some sort..My money bets they follow the earth-axes exposures of increasing sun light caused by rotational and axial shifting of orbital variations .. .. no genetic compass.. just 'sight' that is 'light' sensitive. |

| it should be the other way around,the light is harshest in winter when our orbit is closest to the sun. |
