On this shortest day in the year, a sunrise shot seemed appropriate. Today our "day" officially lasts 8 hours and 24 minutes with sunrise at 7:36pm and sunset at 4:00pm (Pacific time). Where you live your the length of day will depend on your latitude from the equator with those of you in the southern hemisphere having a very long, rather than short day. And now the merry-go-round of seasons continues!
What a stunning start to any day this is . . . sure feels there is Something more than just the physics going on here !
