No. You're not getting me. If you lie on the beach in the summer facing up the sun is not that glare-y. It has a brilliant shine to it in the winter. It looks more white than yellow. And the beams look sharper.
I would guess it's because of a lack of moisture diffusing the light. I've seen a few bright summer days with no shadows because of the haze.
What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."
