Alright guys this is something I've thought about for a while. I've lived in three seperate parts of the world. Ireland/UK: Mostly cloudy. New Zealand: moderate to relatively sunny and Western Australia: Extremely sunny
I believe that sunshine hours is the most important aspect in not just our general mood but in how we percieve our everyday enviroment. Growing up in Ireland our climate like Britain and all of Northern Europe was quite cloudy and gloomy for most of the year. I felt this gave off a sense of greyness and dullness to everything from the towns, cities and to the very landscape itself. Don't get me wrong there is a charm and beauty in this at times but it creates a landscape and enviroment that can pushes one to escape indoors. When the sun finally did come out however I just remember how beautiful everything looked. The colors of the landscape would be so vibrant, the towns and cities had more character, it felt like a different world and everyone felt this way. Everyone felt that little bit more proud of how truly beautiful the country they lived in truly was and they would be outside soaking it in.
This has never been more true in Perth which is very much the opposite to the likes of Ireland/UK. People percieve Australian cities like American cities to be full of esthetically pleasing suburbs and this is largely how they are portrayed. I just noticed driving through some of the suburbs of Perth recently that when we have a few very overcast and dull days some of these houses looked quite run down. Many of the houses i passed looked quite shabby with their gardens full of overgrown vegetation that made the property looked like it wasn't taken care of. However on the other blue sky days these suburbs looks superb. The houses had colors that popped and were full of character. The shabby vegetation that I seen before looked more like a subtropical garden that someone was carefully maintaining into something lush and natural and even the city itself just looked stunning. I first noticed this when I worked in the city of centre of Perth in winter and it just looked so bleak compared to my first experiences of Perth in the peak of summer. It truly looks stunning in a clear sunny day and so i truly believe Sunshine is the greatest aspect to how we percieve not just a great climate but how we percieve a beautiful city.
Of course other aspects matter in a climate but sunshine or lack of it can completely dictate how we percieve our enviroment more than anything else. I feel that Australia's cities would have nowhere near the reputation of being as a esthetically pleasing especially Perth if it wasn't sunny for most of the year. What do you guys think. Do you notice this in your own enviroments?
