I actually like the darkness in the late afternoon. I know I'm the real minority on this one. I find darkness calming not depressing. Plus when there is less light, people seem like bright beacons of life to me.
This time of year everyone complains about the darkness, which is understandable! A lot of people's moods seem to be solar-powered. Mine aren't. Which means there is a weird disconnect from everyone else this time of year.
