The Longest Shadow by maggiemae

The Longest Shadow

Today is 21st June - our shortest day in NZ. The sun was almost set so I turned around and took my shadow. It will never be as long as that for another year! Now back inside to the warm fire and the longest night!
Beautiful golden light Maggie. love the sun on that yellow house too.

Very cool Maggie! Love the light. No chance of seeing a shadow here today. It's only 4:15 and already nearly dark- it's been a grey, rainy day here. I always look forward to this day so it can start getting better!

Excellent illustration of the shortest day - I like all the lines converging on your shadow.

@terryvet92 Are we in the same 45 degrees south! We have had cold but beautiful sun most of the days! There has to be something good about a grey day?

@lornareid You know I didn't notice that! Is that something to do with where the sun is.... right behind me?

@marieooi Thanks, Marie! We used to have solstice parties every year and go outside and listen to the bagpipes coming up the slopes to our house (prerecorded an on speakers placed on either side). Too much trouble nowadays!

lovely long shadow. We had sunset at 5.20pm...I didn't finish work till 6.30, so missed it all together. I hate coming home when it's dark!!

Beautiful light - My daughter was born on the shortest day of the year 21 years ago - it seemed pretty long to me at the time ::))
