The Dark of the Year

The winter solstice has arrived, and the days are short here at 49.25°N. Fortunately I get to escape the winter dark and spend a couple of weeks at the opposite end of the globe in Melbourne, Australia.


Winter sunrise from my balcony

The sun rises late...


Pumpkin

...the vegetables are frozen in the gardens...


Sunset gradient

...the sun sets early...


Hothouse glow

...and the greenhouses glow orange.
