Shortest Day of the Year

6 am, December 2010
December 21st was the Winter Solstice and the shortest day of the year. Happy (belated) Solstice!

Yesterday, the sun rose at 8:42 and set at 3:40 - less than 7 hours. It starts getting lighter quickly. Although it was longer by less than a second today, we get about 8 seconds more light each day and, by the end of January, we'll have 3 minutes & 59 seconds more sun a day.

I've always ranted about the light here. We don't always have a lot of it, but what we have is amazing. I'll try posting more photos as I get them.
