Okay, daylight, do your thing. Starting tomorrow, more sun, every day, please!
& a Groovy New Moon to you - what seeds are you planting?

Shortest day of the year.
The light barely rises, the dark lingers longer than invited.

But lighthouses were never built for easy days.
They exist for the long nights, the rough seas, the moments when direction matters most.

The light is on.
It always is.

Solstice, oh the solllllllstice, when long nights start shrinnnnnnnking and the day eloooooooooongates to bring us joy!

There's a tune in my mind, which I'm pretty sure it made up itself, and which I am not going to try to capture.

Happy #ShortestDay everyone! #solstice

It rises to a peak of 7° elevation before returning below the horizon, six hours after sunrise.

Nice to see it again though 🙂
