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!

Today is the #WinterSolstice in the northern half of the planet. It will occur in just over an hour’s time at 09:20Z, marking the start of #Winter, accompanied by the #LongestNight. Meanwhile, the other side of the #Earth is half a year out of phase and will mark the start of #Summer on their #SummerSolstice and the #LongestDay. By coincidence, the Earth is near #Perigee at this time of year, being its closest to the #Sun. in its very slightly #EllipticalOrbit. Actual pergee will occur on 4 January 2025.

:: 47-53 [AL] Winter Weekend ::

Here's a piece following this season's festivities! I've never eaten a Yule Log before, but I do love Swiss rolls.

47-53 [AL] Winter Weekend by EarlyOnion.jpg

This drawing features some of the kiddos from my 'Another Life' story. It's basically a spin-off where all my OCs from all my stories coexist.

From left, kiddos who are present are Shintaro, Sindri, Manel and the ones not facing us is Rosa, Piht, and Rocío. Idun and Thiazi are not here. The one serving the Yule Log is Terenzio. Outside through the window, we can see Adrià (Manel's dad) inviting Shin's parents in (yes, Shin had excitedly run off to see his friends).

None of them have ever seen Yule Log cakes, so it makes one wonder where this could have come from.

And just like with Sugar Skulls, I realised that I failed to make the food item as the focus of the drawing, again. It's in the centre, yes, but kinda small and surrounded by other 'bigger' things. But ehh idk.

P/S: Originally, I was hoping to make a big one featuring my RO duo and my own OCs (the main ones) that might total to 12 or so people; but that was a bit too ambitious and I'm kinda drained from life events. So, I scrapped that idea. :< Yet, here I am drawing a picture that has 10 people. I do not understand my actions, haha. x'D

Viele sehnen den 21. Dezember herbei: die Wintersonnenwende, ab der die Tage wieder länger werden. Das stimmt zwar, aber nicht unbedingt so, wie viele Menschen vielleicht denken.#Wintersonnwende #Winter #Zeitgleichung #Perihel #InnereUhr #Sonne #Sonnensystem #Depression #Licht #Astronomie
Werden die Tage ab dem 21. Dezember tatsächlich bereits länger?

#Winter necessity or chemical spill? I saw this "salt drift" in downtown #Ottawa today. It is almost 6" (20 cm) high. Definitely a tripping hazard. Ottawa uses much more salt than any other city in Canada, even Montreal which has the same climate and is much bigger.
