The day length today is exactly the same as yesterday. But tomorrow the day will be four seconds longer! Then comes summer.
This morning the waning crescent of the moon was a hands breadth above the horizon before the sun peeked out above the Rockport Breakwater.
Did anyone else leap out of bed at 12:30 AM when solstice occurred? A huge clap of thunder woke me up then it really started pouring. So surprised to see the stars out when I got up that I had to go take a shot of sunrise.
Good Morning Gloucester 
Did you mean the summer solstice sunrise photo?

I can see how someone might be puzzled if I note balmy 50F temp at sunrise and a thunderstorm woke me up at midnight but no, I shot those photos this morning.
Mid 50s today but chance of snow on Christmas Eve. I’ll believe it when I see it. Kind of hoping for this weather when all the fools go swimming on the New Year’s Day.

What a great image for the day after the Solstice. Our’s was 10:30 a night, and I noted it. It was cloudy this morning, so no sun. Happy Solstice to you. Loved this post. 🙂

I love those photos! The winter solstice is one of my favorite times of the year, as it marks heading back toward the light of summer.
