At that higher latitude, you get a really good spread.
At 33N we just don't get that much variation.

You can see the sun in England? I guess you learn something new every day.

I remember watching solar eclipses as a kid using a piece of white paper and a box with a pinhole in one end.
This photo is very inventive. Very kool.

I think the symmetry is the most beautiful thing here. We live in an ordered world.

When I used to work in the oil patch on the North Slope of Alaska (70* N Latitude) the sun disappeared around Thanksgiving and did not return above the horizon until the end of January.
The Full Moon of December and January did not set - just circled in the sky. That was something to see!
Now I live in northern Idaho at 48* N Latitude. I still consider the Winter Solstice to be the first day of Spring because the days start to get longer.

For some other amazing photos using a different technique, check out:
Sun Photos
The position of the sun at the same time every day forms what's called an "analemma" that varies with your latitude.

Had a friend make a seismometer out of a metal bandaid box, a coil of wire and some magnets.
He buried it in his back yard and measured the variations in electron flow in the coil of wire to get readings.
If I remember right, it picked up the earthquake in San Fran back in the 90s.
