Equinox by maggiemae

Equinox

Remembering that the sunrise and sunset times were the same within one minute, I wanted to record one shot - this sunrise was lovely for 5 minutes then turned into a grey sky. The sunset might or might not be good. It is 7.42am for the rise and 7.42 for the set.

"An equinox in astronomy is the moment when the Sun is located right over the equator. When this happens, the duration of day and night are closest to being equal at all locations around the globe."
Gorgeous.

What a lovely sunrise to wake up to. I am usually driving to work when the sun rises, I will be glad when the clocks go backwards.

Ah welcome to one day when life is in balance and then the mad dash forward into spring

@pandorasecho You have put it in a nutshell, Dixie - we are all equal under the sun!
March 24th, 2013  
@joluise But then you will be driving in the dark? Is that better and with a hope of more light when you finish?
March 24th, 2013  
@megmills
Thank you, Meg! You have the name of what I wanted to have and tried for 4 years. I loved to be known as Meg! But it changed when I changed areas and education!
March 24th, 2013  
You captured that perfect moment - during that moment. Well done
March 24th, 2013

@maggiemae what do you mean it changed when you changed areas and education? I've always had a hard time with my name....when I tell ppl my name they say, Mag, Maggie, Ned, Madge...I wanted to change my name to something easier hahaha, I named my daughter Megan and thought about using it, but that'd get confusing now. The grass is always greener on the other side eh? Do you go by Maggie Mae?
March 24th, 2013  
Great observation, I never thought of that!!!! beautiful sunrise & you have officially recorded this now!!!
My sister is called Margaret & everyone except me & our brothers call her Maggie.
