This captivating image showcases the journey of the Sun through the sky during the winter solstice (bottom), equinox (middle), and summer solstice (top) in Bursa, Turkey, between 21 December 2007 and 20 June 2008. Using a fisheye lens, the photographer captured the Sun's positions at regular intervals from sunrise to sunset on three different days, illustrating the changing lengths of day and night throughout the year. The variations in the Sun’s daily path across the sky, its height at midday, and the positions of sunrise and sunset, as well as the length of a day, depend on Earth’s axial tilt relative to its orbit around the Sun. The series was taken from a rooftop in Bursa, where the local terrain adds its own unique touch by occasionally obstructing the horizon. Oriented with north at the top and south at the bottom, this visual diary serves as a stunning representation of the Sun’s path for those residing in mid-northern latitudes.

Welcome #Spring at 9:46 a.m.! In the #NorthernHemisphere it’s the #VernalEquinox, when #daylight and #night are exactly the same length of time. Night gets shorter and shorter from here (and weather’s supposed to get warmer) till the #SummerSolstice.

Feel me now.
I am fertility and creativity.
I am the abundance of the harvest.
I am the abundance of life.
I create and nurture all being.
Feel my presence.

You Made It Through the 10 darkest weeks of the year.
We made it!
But why does it feel like it takes so much longer to warm and lighten up than it did to get cold and dark??

A crescent moon around the sun and stars. Below that, it says Happy Solstice. Beneath that, in smaller font, it reads The shortest day of the longest fucking year of our lives.
A joyous Solstice to all in both Northern and Southern hemispheres, regardless of day length. ☀️
