I don't complain about changing the clock 2x a year. I complain about #solstice telling me that half a year is over and I think: Didn't the year just begin?!
solstice
When I was about seven years old, I was playing outside one evening when I noticed there was much more sunlight than there should have been.
“Is the sun never going to set again?” I asked my mother.
“No, it’s just the summer solstice,” she told me and explained how it worked. I was mesmerized. What an incredible day of the year this is.
I’ve loved it ever since. ☀️
Around #solstice, the #sunlight of the setting Sun fills a room in my house. The door of that room has a small #keyhole that lets a bit of light go outside the room, projecting it onto a hallway wall. It becomes like a giant #CameraObscura. Here's a short #timelapse of todays' #Sun at sunset projected on the wall.
