I left from home at about 2 o'clock. The sky was covered in thick clouds, and because of that it was still quite dark outside. And like I mentioned, it was raining occasionally too. When I cycled towards the hashpoint, visibility improved gradually as the moment of sunrise got closer. Eventually, I reached the end of Huvilatie road and had only 120 metres to walk. I reached the hashpoint at 3:12, a few minutes before sunrise. However, due to the thick clouds it was impossible to see the actual sunrise. I tried to take some pictures, noticed that there was not enough light for my photographing setup, and left at 3:24. All in all, this was quite an uneventful expedition.

The theoretical sunrise time is:

* 3:16 according to [https://www.suncalc.org suncalc.org] and [http://www.clearskyinstitute.com/xephem XEphem] (taking the atmosphere into account)

I was at the hashpoint from 3:12 to 3:24, so regardless of which time is correct, I was definitely there during sunrise.

Location

In a forest near some houses and close to the shore of lake Pyhäselkä.

Participants

Plans

The location seems to be easily accessible, and I will cycle there. I have two possible plans:

  • Go there early and be there during the sunrise, at 3:16 (or 2:15 local mean solar time). As I am writing this, it is just past 1 o'clock and I feel like I cannot sleep anyway. However, the weather is rainy, and I would not get to see the sun.
  • Go there in the evening after work when the weather should be nice.

Update half an hour later: The rain has calmed down. I will do the first plan.

Expedition

I left from home at about 2 o'clock. The sky was covered in thick clouds, and because of that it was still quite dark outside. And like I mentioned, it was raining occasionally too. When I cycled towards the hashpoint, visibility improved gradually as the moment of sunrise got closer. Eventually, I reached the end of Huvilatie road and had only 120 metres to walk. I reached the hashpoint at 3:12, a few minutes before sunrise. However, due to the thick clouds it was impossible to see the actual sunrise. I tried to take some pictures, noticed that there was not enough light for my photographing setup, and left at 3:24. All in all, this was quite an uneventful expedition.

Sunrise geohash

The theoretical sunrise time is:

I was at the hashpoint from 3:12 to 3:24, so regardless of which time is correct, I was definitely there during sunrise.

Tracklog

I apparently turned the GPS receiver off on the way back, so this is only the journey from home to the hashpoint and a bit of the return along the same roads.


Photos

  • Screenshots of my GPS receiver.

  • The house near the hashpoint.

  • Mosquitoes everywhere.

  • First selfie attempt: too dark.

  • Second selfie attempt with flash: out of focus.

  • The sun is rising somewhere in that direction.

  • The sun has risen... apparently.

  • A mushroom growing in an abnormal time of year.

  • Cat encounter on the way home.
