Re: Winter Solstice Sunrise
Nice shot

An excellent day to capture it too, being the shortest day.

Wouldn't mind seeing it with the fence cloned out though.

Great shot - however, according to my wall planner, tomorrow is the shortest day

The winter solstice in the northern hemishere occurs when the sun is positioned directly over the tropic of Capricorn. This occurs between the 20-22 of December and this year happens at 06:08 AM tomorrow morning. That makes tonight the longest night and tomorrow the shortest day. Here endeth the lesson.

On the bright side, the days are getting longer from now on

Great moody shot Para . I do prefer it without the fence.

Mike
