An illustration of a young maiden dressed in colourful robes over a white shift; she has long golden tresses with a headdress made of greenery, and a stained glass-like halo behind her head.. She holds a white Snowy Owl on one hand.

There is an elaborate oval ornamentation, with holly leaves & berries, and Celtic-style knot work. There is a snowy forest in the background.

The dying sun: barely skimming the horizon on the top of a hill across a flowing river steaming in the cold. On the near shore deep show, hoar-frosted bushes and a line of boot tracks leading off to the left. The sun is yellow, with some pinkish around it. The sky is blue/white. The snow is tinted in shades of blue from the low angle of the sun.

Snow-frosted spruce trees in the snow. Through them, you can see the warm glow of low-angle daylight. Between them, on the bluish snow, patches of warm light and darker shadows/hollows. The tree trunks appear dark grey to black.

On this Winter Solstice, and in the year to come may love, peace, and abundance be yours. May you rest in the silence and darkness of winter, and feel the joy and hope of the returning light. Yule Blessings To All!

Two pictures taken from my Manhattan window. Two inches of snow on my fire escape, the trees... Seen are the residences across the gardens (next block), and midtown Manhattan high rises beyond. The left picture, the sky is overcast. The right, the sun is saying "Give me a chance!"

Plant, plan, prepare - moon will be waxing, what seeds are you feeding?
Celebrate *the Reason for the Season*, WINTER is here ~ but as a trade-off, days will start getting longer again, starting TOMORROW.

Sun setting behind standing stone Pen Y Craig for the longest night - this East Lothian Bronze Age solar megalith is about 5 thousand years old & Winter Solstice was an important point in their calendar.

It's all brighter from now into Summer 2026.

Just watching the Newcastle vs Bath rugby at Kingston Park. I know the floodlights affect the cameras but it looks like night up there. #ShortestDay.

A photo I took in the Yorkshire Dales. There is a glow from the emerging sunrise in the distance as a frosty winter morning over the valley is just beginning. There are a few sheep in the picture, and a couple of distant cottages. The trees are without their leaves.

They carol, feast, give thanks,
And dearly love their friends,
And hope for peace.
And now so do we, here, now,
This year and every year.
Welcome, Yule!

A blue background with some Christmas ornaments, snowflakes, snow and evergreen trees. And the words "It's the winter solstice. The shortest day of the year!"

A blue background with some Christmas ornaments, snowflakes, snow and evergreen trees. And the words "It's the winter solstice. The shortest day of the year!"

It's going to be a mainly cloudy day and the sun will set at 4:53 p.m., but that's still cause to celebrate.
The sooner we get today over with, the sooner the days start getting longer!
Happy Winter Solstice!

A damp, grey and misty Amble Harbour on the Northumberland coast. In the picture there is the sea and in the distance are two boats, sand dunes and the ruins of the old coal staithes.

A black and white page of a newspaper with three photographs of handheld lamps. Two are paper lanterns, like the one used by Florence Nightingale in the Crimean War. The third looks like it is made of gold or silver and it is shaped like a Roman oil lamp.

A front cover of a book called 'As Miss Nightingale Said...' The cover is a deep red colour with a gold embossed illustration of Florence Nightingale's lamp.

Did you know the lamp is the symbol of the nursing profession? We found a few in our collections to provide some extra light on the longest night of the year🕯️
