I love the darkness of midwinter - the cold air, the rain, fog and ice - the majesty of nature in stasis - to be reborn anew in spring ... the sheer wonder of the stars at night... the celestial ocean never looks so resplendent... the seas froth and rage, creating art with every turn of the tide.
There is beauty in the darkness.

That's not why days aren't exactly 24 hours and it's not why we have a leap year (well, days actually being just over 24hours is, but that's not related to the elliptical orbit).
But yes, the OP was obviously referring to daylight.

How does that work when it's cloudy all week?

It’s Spain and there were 48 photos so there must have been clouds on four weeks.
May I recommend Kiruna. Around 20 minutes of daylight during the darkest weeks... Some decent Northern Lights though.

I suppose that is the difference between literate and literal.
Day being day. As opposed to night. Yes there is more than one definition of the worda 'day'.

Fake composite picture been doing the rounds for years on social media
Were 48 Pictures of the Sun Used To Make This Image?
The figure-eight path of the sun in a viral image is real, but there are a few aspects of the photograph worth clarifying.

Snopes says miscaptioned. The photo is real, not fake, but only 46 photos, not 48, and were taken in an empty sky, instead of in front of a cathedral.Fake composite picture been doing the rounds for years on social media

The figure-eight path of the sun in a viral image is real, but there are a few aspects of the photograph worth clarifying.
The figure 8 movement of the sun’s position is called an analemma.
Presumably why there’s 46 photos not 52. 4 cloudy weeks.
Had a conversation with a very autistic colleague who took midday to mean the middle of the daylight hours not the middle of the hours of the day. So midday for most people is noon. Midday for him so halfway between sunrise and sunset. His reasoning was noon already has a word so why have another for it?
