I’ve been to Taipei in 70-71. Liked it a lot. One of the few places in Asia where American sailors aren’t treated like scum by the locals.
This photo is great. In the early 70’s Sky & Telescope’s cover had a single 35mm frame photo of the analemma taken from NY or PA, I think. Amazing since he had to judge the foreground exposure against dozens of sun photos.
I used to wonder why the earliest and latest sunsets and sunrises were not on the exact days of summer and winter solstice, the analemma explained it. On globes (if it appears) it’s labeled as “sun fast” and “sun slow”.
