Solstice dawn with trees
For me, the solstice is a key day to my emotional equilibrium. With the solstice night at about 16 hours long in this latitude, daylight is crucially important. Once the solstice arrives, the days lengthen again, so all is positive and improving.
I took this photo in my back yard on Tuesday morning, the solstice. One of the only benefits of the shorter days is that I actually witness the dawn light on some days. Can you tell I am not an early riser?
Visit Skywatch Friday for more skies seen round the world, Blue Monday and Scenic Sunday as well. This one is straight out of the camera, too. And Happy Solstice to you, a couple of days late.
As usual, if there’s only this one photo below, click on Sara’s Fave Photos for the rest of them.
Lovely image, I like the softness of it. Have a happy holiday season.
What a beautiful shot.

Beautiful Sara!
I’m an early riser, so I see the dawn most days. Love your photo.
Happy Blue Monday and Happy 2011, Sara.
