light in Rovaniemi

As part of my studies at the University of Lapland I am taking part in an independent photography course taught by Michael Jabobs. I find him to be extremely passionate and interesting, and I think he could become a great inspiration here in Rovaniemi thinking more about life and the effects of things around us. Today he was making us think about the effect of being here on us and the climate we are being accustomed to. I have already considered this a little and thought about the effects, even though I think some may be bad! - I find myself not being able to get out of bed in the morning due to the darkness. I find this usually to me my most creative part of the day in Manchester but, this has changed here. The biggest influence on me here has been light, I think this is because of the drastic changes and the limited hours of the days. Even though they are much longer now than before I came. Light seems to have a great influence on everything here, and something very close to this area, due to the varying patterns of the sun during the year. I am not sure if the light has had much effect on me, apart from my ability to get out of bed, but I know it has effected some quite a lot more and some find it really hard to sleep in the winter. As light is a large part of my general practice this is something I want to monitor in my stay here. Will the light effect me too??
