Let There be Light


There is a scientific and astronomical explanation for the Winter Solstice, and I'm grateful for the Earth's rotation, revolution, and 23.5° tilt on its axis. For me, the most wonderful and significant thing about the Solstice is the gradual lengthening of daylight and shortening of night. Let there be (more) Light!

  1. What a beautiful photo! We are supposed to see the sun today (in about an hour ;-) and I can't wait! Isn't it wonderful to know that the days are getting longer!

  2. Amen to more light!
    Many years ago, like 24, my brother lived in Flemington! He rented a house that was on a pheasant/turkey farm.

  4. Love your photo of the sun, which we will not see today. The first day of winter is snowy (fitting) and cold. Just knowing the days will lengthen lifts my spirits.
