That's because I'm wearing one on my face as a disguise 😉

Nice pics!
So are we all agreed that "Solstice" was last night? Was this morning's dawn "Solstice sunrise"??
(I'm night-riding this weekend to make use of the (almost) shortest nights - Cumbria/Yorkie border, so shouldn't be dark for very long
))) )

Ta!
I take the solstice to be the moment when the poles reach maximum tilt towards & away from the sun.
Which Google tells me was 9:50pm yesterday , 20th June 2024.
It varies between 20-22nd June due to leap years - ie the calendar year isn't quite in sync with Earth orbiting the Sun.
Yesterday was the longest day this year, so the druids and other folk have missed. A bit like Christians getting the date wrong for Easter every year; must be a logistical challenge for Cadbury.
Interestingly, the earliest sunrise this year was several days ago, and the latest sunset isn't until early next week.
I'm jealous, that'll be beautiful. Hope the weather is good to you.(I'm night-riding this weekend to make use of the (almost) shortest nights - Cumbria/Yorkie border, so shouldn't be dark for very long
I'll be getting wet on the Friday Night Ride to Brighton this evening.... Hoping for some brightness at the top of Ditchling B.
