Got round to scanning my most recent #solarigraph. A tin can #PinholeCamera strapped to a lamppost in Porty, #Edinburgh between the winter #solstice and the #SummerSolstice last week.

Might tweak the levels a bit more. But I'm pretty happy with this one - especially since the other three that I had up failed.

Another capture from a walkabout around the historic Northumberland market town of Hexham on Sunday.
Coinciding with the date of this year's summer solstice and appropriately enough, the season was kicking off in fine style with lots of lovely warm sunshine.
Centre stage in this composition is Hexham Abbey Church, dedicated to St Andrew, it was originally a monastery founded by St Wilfrid in 674.
Must admit, I've never photographed it from this angle before, but I definitely like the viewpoint with it bathed in the afternoon sunlight.
The fascinating crypt that was part of the original monastery still survives, incorporating stones taken from nearby Roman ruins, most likely at Corbridge and nearby Hadrian's Wall, it is definitely worth a look.

25 years ago, I interviewed #ChiefLookingHorse about World Peace and Prayer Day, and was inspired to organize a solidarity event in #PortlandME (in conjunction with #PeaceActionMaine) where we made art, spoke truth, played music, and fed the #Unhoused. It took a lot of work to organize, but I'm glad it happened. It's was all about #BuildingCommunity and #MutualAid, and that's what's needed #InTheseTimes!

#WorldPeaceAndPrayerDay: The Power of Spirit

Article by @bsnorrell.blogspot.com , Censored News, noon, June 21, 2026

#MathóPahá (Bear Butte) South Dakota -- "Chief #ArvolLookingHorse, Chief began by saying the riders are coming from Green Grass and then they will proceed to the Little Big Horn.

" '#MotherEarth is sick, and we are sick, because we nourish from Mother Earth' Chief Looking Horse said.

"With a message of hope, Chief Looking Horse said his people are a people of peace and today, more than ever, the youths are singing their songs and on the ride from Green Grass.

"As World Peace and Prayer Day began, now in its thirtieth year, Chief Looking Horse said, 'Pipestone is the Blood of our People,'

"We need peace in this world more than ever."

"As World Peace and Prayer Day begins today, an elder from #Alaska speaks on the impact of a typhoon at #HooperBay. She spoke on the power of prayer, and efforts to recover. 'Their homes are totally destroyed.' Now, the federal government is depriving them of their funds."

"#Paiute #JoshDini and youth honor #MyronDewey, Paiute, and his efforts at #StandingRock. They are sharing what is happening at #ThackerPass, the #LithiumMining in Nevada.

"On the ride, now from Green Grass in South Dakota, Josh said they are able to share what is happening in Nevada and that Thacker Pass is a place of massacres.

"#Datacenters are being pushed without consultation with the tribe. The data centers are taking the land and water, even now in a #drought, the data centers are coming for the water, Josh said.

"Dr. #ValeriahBigEagle, #Nakota / #HunkpatiDakota, speaks on the power of prayer and protection of the land and water. At Sacred #Pesla, two drill rigs were stopped from going in. An injunction, and preliminary injunction was filed to stop the drilling for graphite. Then, 'they started drilling around the clock.' On May 8, the permit was rescinded.

"There were drones and helicopters overhead, but the occupation went forward with prayer, she said. The protectors had their own drone as well, for security. Big Eagle said it was an honor to be a part of this.

" 'The only weapons we had were our prayers,' she said, describing the lock downs to equipment to halt the drilling.

" 'When we are in #solidarity and #unity, we can make things happen,' she said, speaking on ongoing efforts to protect the Sacred #BlackHills."

Happy Summer Solstice! I must say that I’m quite excited for the days to get shorter again. Having daylight until almost 10pm is just too late for me. I love the nighttime!
