Solstice in Tasmania

Posted: December 22, 2019 Under: Solstice Challenge By Tony Cullimore 4 Comments

I tried to get a summer picture at the same place – but couldn’t see the sun! So I have to stand further back. Brompton is in there standing against the house. Thank you all for your recent comments. Our area has no fires at the moment but friends both here is Tasmania and on … Continue reading "Solstice in Tasmania"

A La Jolla Solstice

Posted: December 22, 2019 Under: Challenge of the month By Scooter 7 Comments

I admit that I didn’t think that much about the technical aspects of solstice today – I just pointed the camera west toward the sea and took my best shot. I should at least get some credit for being aware that it was solstice though. I had my mind on other things, anyway. Foremost among … Continue reading "A La Jolla Solstice"

Summer Solstice in Bavaria – a few days early

Posted: June 22, 2019 Under: Challenges By Suzanne 8 Comments

This is about a ten-minute ride from home. Had to think about where I would best view the sun sinking below the horizon. We have lots of forests here but not many views to where the sky and earth meet, too many trees. Since sunrise was at 5:14 am and sunset at 9:17 pm, I … Continue reading "Summer Solstice in Bavaria – a few days early"

Winter solstice downunder and New and Old Challenge

Posted: June 22, 2019 Under: Australia By Lednar De Nalloh 16 Comments

I left work early and charged up the hill to get a photo of the winter equinox sunset. Also I got two photo entries in the new and old challenge. The first shows my sons new red mountain bike which I had commandeered for a ride that day with some old railway switch points and … Continue reading "Winter solstice downunder and New and Old Challenge"

Winter Solstice in Tasmania

Posted: June 21, 2019 Under: Challenges By Tony Cullimore 4 Comments

There goes the sun and here comes another frosty night. I still haven’t managed to spot an “old and new” photo opportunity. Sorry. I have seen some possibilities but they didn’t work out picture-wise. Perhaps I am too busy keeping warm!! Still, there are a few days to go yet.

A ‘Just after the Solstice” picture

Posted: January 02, 2019 Under: Solstice Challenge By Tony Cullimore 5 Comments

It’s been cloudy or I’ve been asleep or I just plain missed it – but yesterday I managed a sunset picture. Our driveway heads somewhat east / west so I took the shot there. I will probably have to walk a bit further along to get the winter solstice picture!

A wall, art(?), and a bike a few days before the winter solstice

Posted: December 31, 2018 Under: Solstice Challenge By GDinSD 3 Comments

I work in an old two-story building in downtown Salem. Across the street to the south is the grocery store. Here’s my bike parked by the wall of the grocery store, shortly after 9:00am(CST) on December 16, 2018. The reflections on the grocery store wall are from the low mid-morning sun reflecting off the second-story … Continue reading "A wall, art(?), and a bike a few days before the winter solstice"

Unexpectedly a Solstice to Photo

Posted: December 27, 2018 Under: Solstice Challenge By DJG 2 Comments

In our little part of the world the forecast was for heavy cloud and light winds all day. Surprisingly after our visitor left at midday the clouds slowly began to clear, at 15:30 it was time to pop out with the camera. Not sure if I’m too late to qualify? View west across the Abingdon’s … Continue reading "Unexpectedly a Solstice to Photo"

A Day Late But Not A Dollar Short……Solstice Sunset

Posted: December 24, 2018 Under: Articles By Seasidejanet 5 Comments

I was a little under the weather on the 21st so didn’t make it out. However, everyone under the sun was posting amazing sunset and sunrise photos on FB and other social media. As I sat on my couch last night…….I could see the color building from our window and decided I needed to get … Continue reading "A Day Late But Not A Dollar Short……Solstice Sunset"

Winter solstice in Taipei

Posted: December 23, 2018 Under: Asia By Scooter 2 Comments

So I’m at least close. I got a photo of nearly the sunrise (I’m about 45 minutes late), on a nearly east/west road (off by about 15 degrees), on nearly the solstice (one day late). The photo is taken biking east along the Xindian River near Bitan Scenic Area, just south of Taipei. There’s a … Continue reading "Winter solstice in Taipei"

Winter Solstice Challenge – without bike and road

Posted: December 21, 2018 Under: Challenges By Suzanne 11 Comments

Just got a shot of the sun as it disappears on the horizon here in Conil, Spain on December 21 for the Solstice Challenge. In Munich I would have had my bicycle and perhaps a street at the right angle, but I doubt the sun would have been out. Only rain and clouds there! Happy … Continue reading "Winter Solstice Challenge – without bike and road"

Seasons Greetings and A Seasonal Wall

Couldn’t let the season go by without a photo of our “festive frog”.

Solstice Challenge (Updated)

Posted: December 13, 2018 Under: Challenges By Rich-Illinois 8 Comments

Looking at the Analemma, the sun is so close to 23.5 S Latitude any date between now and January 1st would be a good time for a photo as weather/clouds allow. Just over a week until the Solstice. As we can see by the analemma the direct ray of the sun is very nearly at … Continue reading "Solstice Challenge (Updated)"
