It's always preferred to have sunny days throughout the year, which every naturist seeks for.. However it's inevitable to face the cycles of the Nature & to accept it as everyone can't move according to seasonal changes.. Those almost fixed cycles are also badly affected because of the global warming & are varying drastically..
The Antipodes Islands are inhospitable and uninhabited volcanic islands in subantarctic waters to the south of – and territorially part of – New Zealand. The 21 km² archipelago lies 860 km to the southeast of Stewart Island/Rakiura, and 730 km to the northeast of Campbell Island.
I live on a farm and work with a dairy herd and I have no problem adjusting into and out of DST. Farmers that gripe about it affecting the animals are, frankly, using it as just an excuse for the fact they don't personally like the longer dark hours in the early summer mornings on DST. It's very simple to adjust. If you normally milk at 5 a.m during summer, then at the end of DST you milk at 4 a.m., but add ten minutes each morning. In a week's time you're back to 5 a.m. on Standard Time. The cows won't even notice!
While I love summer and enjoy the warm and (usually) drier months to get some recreational time in, and complete projects that need decent weather, I don't mind winter either - for different reasons. June is the start of calving season, which I really enjoy. And we do actually have the occasional day of a clear blue sky in mid-winter - albeit a much shorter one! A few years ago I went on a winter solstice hike on the Auckland West Coast's Karekare beach, down to Pararaha, and it was a fabulously warm day in the sun! So it's not all doom and gloom for New Zealand's winters! Keep an eye on the forecast and plan to seize the odd nice day that comes along.
I feel after reading this article I should apologize, but I am not going to.
It's been a long winter in my hemisphere.
The warmth is on it's way. Even though it was in the 50s Sunday I went for a stroll in the back yard. Of course nude, to feet he sun and breeze was great.
We just experienced a total solar eclipse today. Although it was cloudy I found it an amazing experience.
Can't wait to be outdoors naked in the warm weather. Making plans for a nude summer.
As someone who has worked night shift most of my adult life, daylight savings time has never really affected me much. For years, the state where I live didn’t even observe DST. They do now, and even after the “switch” I never really cared as I’m usually asleep during most of the daylight hours. So it’s hard for me understand the folks who complain or want the change to stop. Even when I was working normal or day shift hours, still no big deal. The seasons change every year. Sun is up longer in the summer anyway. Frankly just never understood why it’s such a big deal. Other than it annoying having to change all of our clocks twice a year.
Early April and early warm months starting here in South Central Texas. Outside in shorts and T shirt for the eclipse. Mostly overcast. Got a glimpse occasionally through breaks in the clouds. Used our sun screening special glasses. Large crowds in places. Didn’t seek out naturist venue but might a tad cool for natural viewing today anyway. Even with the cloud cover, the in-creeping of “night” and the light coming back is a great experience. Second time I have travelled to an eclipse. 1970 and now. Overcast/cloudy both times. Maybe I should apologize to other folks here. Must be my fault, right? Thanks for your thoughts on the page…a good read.
I've long preached for staying on Daylight time year round. Yes, it would be dark longer in the morning but at least the daylight would last a little longer. I live in CALIFORNIA and we do have lots of sunshine for the whole year, so it would be nice to have it last longer during the evening.

You guys have it all upside down from us. It is almost summer where I live. Today's high was 86F.

You live there?

Best to you down under. It's our turn.
Love the post.

We are far more productive during daylight savings time. Year round would be our desire as well.
