  5. Happy Summer Solstice Day

    The longest day of the year.

    I really don’t want to be thinking about the days drawing in and long, dark, nights ahead.

    So I won’t…

  9. 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.

  11. 20/06/2024 - A walk up the hill to say goodnight to the sun at the end of the longest day. Light but then not light visit to Bennachie for sunset on this summer solstice. Lovely evening sunshine on the way up. We sat at the top and happily waited, having a brew and chatting rubbish to each other. First solstice at 9:51 pm then the sun went to bed around 10.15 pm. A lovely way to bookend summer solstice, sunrise and sunset on Bennachie.

    Happy solstice everyone.

  15. The #JuneSolstice will occur at 2050Z today. So that will be on the 21 June for the majority of the population of the planet. It’s the #LongestDay or #LongestNight of the year depending on your latitude. Roll on #summer or #winter.

  17. 20/06/2024 - A walk up the hill to greet the sun at the start of the longest day. Dark but not that dark a visit to Bennachie for sunrise on this summer solstice. Noctilucent clouds and a few stars to start with but the sky soon got light. We sat at the top and happily waited, listening to an early morning cuckoo and grouse calling on the hillside. The sun woke up around 4:05 am and waved through the clouds to say hello.

    Happy solstice everyone.
