The sun, nearing winter solstice, travels low across the sky, from sunrise, at left, to sunset, in this multiple-exposure made at the Marshall Point Light, Wednesday, Dec. 18, 2002, in St. George, Maine. The sun's position is recorded at 50-minute intervals during the short nine-hour day. (AP Photo/Robert F. Bukaty) |

I guess it's time for the Wiccans to get nekkid, and dance around again.

Shortest day of the year Saturday. Every day gets just a little bit longer after that. Thank God, I hate it getting dark at 4:30 pm.

Shortest day of the year Saturday.Well, its the longest day if you're in the Southern Hemisphere...
To: Jhensy
No kidding. Going to work in the dark and getting home in the dark is the worst part about winter. IMO.

Be thankful you're not in St. Petersburg, Russia: Sunrise 10:00 am, sunset 3:54 pm. Ouch.

Even they're thankful they're not Point Barrow, Alaska.
Sunset 1:45 PM, November 18, 2002. Sunrise 1:07 PM, Jan 23, 2003.

You said you live on the "east side of San Jose."
I suspect you're up in Lick Observatory! <|:)~

Be thankful you're not in St. Petersburg, Russia: Sunrise 10:00 am, sunset 3:54 pm. Ouch. Even worse-- try Thule Greenland. Next sunrise is not until February 11, 2003, and when the sun finally does come up, its only up for an hour! Double ouch.

As a crow flies, that's about 6-7 miles south or so, I reckun. I stay away from Lick Obversatory, especially during snowfall. All the folks who have never seen snow before go up there. What a sight that is! Indians, Pakis, Vietnamese, etc ... just love the snow.
The rain has just started here in the NE tip of San Josie , pretty darn gusty all morning long so far. ;-)

Beautiful picture.
Hope you have a great Christmas and Wonderful New Year.
