I used to visualize the sun more easily (naively) when figuring time differences. After moving from 45N to rough 60N it's gotten weirder with the even longer summer days. The sun doesn't just "go west' as if the earth's axis had no tilt. I think that most people don't really pay attention to the path the sun makes across the sky as the year progresses. It's harder to visualize "in what position would the sun be 8 timezones away" when you account for the tilt. It's nearing 8pm local time here in Helsinki and the sun is still quite high in the sky. Back in US central where I have family, it's nearing 12 noon. The sunlight overlaps a good deal in the summer time. In the middle of winter, we will never see the sun at the same time.
