It was a spur of the moment decision to catch the sunset so I headed to nearby Sunset Park on Front Street. What a shock to see the sun had moved south nearly even with the Delamar Hotel since the solstice June 21! Where had the summer gone? I moved on to a high spot on Old Mission for a better view. When I arrived, I could see clouds would obscure the sun’s definition. I decided to stay for the color show and to ponder how a summer could slip by so fast.
Beautiful photos, Karen, as always. You'd think we'd be used to the sun's changing position through the seasons, but I am always amazed by the difference between where it rises in summer and where it rises in winter. I see more sunrises than sunsets....
ReplyDeleteI hear you. My study faces east and is a clear indicator of the sun’s north to south movement. I shouldn’t have been so surprised at the narrow window to get shots at Sunset Park, but I was. Summer passes by too fast.
