Winter has not been in NYC for the solsttice since COVID (_Neither Winter)._ Both are now alive and well in New England.
And Winters' spirit has arrived in New York too. In the form of snow, if not his presence this year @ St. John the Divine.

Without further ado, a wonderful & complete (2'40") performance [2022]

Happy Winter Solstice to all.
It's the shortest day of the year. Daylight lasts longer from here on out.
I hope to take the time to get out into nature and have fun.

Climate change has made it so there's no snow in my area anymore, so now it's not much of a WINTER solstice for me. But I like looking at photos from the past that contain the mood I wish for.
None of these photos are mine, all stolen from Tumblr which stole them from elsewhere.

Additionally, merry Christmas and happy new year!

Rising opposite the setting Sun, June's #Full #Moon occurred within about 28 hours of the #solstice. The Moon stays close to the Sun's path along the ecliptic plane, and so while the solstice Sun climbed high in daytime skies, June's Full Moon remained low that night as seen from northern latitudes. In fact, the Full Moon hugs the horizon in this June 21 rooftop night sky view from Bursa, #Turkey, constructed from exposures made every 10 minutes between moonrise and moonset.

In #2024 the Moon also reached a major #lunar #standstill, an extreme in the monthly north-south range of moonrise and moonset caused by the precession of the Moon's orbit over an 18.6 year cycle. As a result, this June solstice Full Moon was at its southernmost moonrise and moonset along the horizon.
