winter nights in the big smoke
Today it's the longest day so here's a shot I took on the shortest day.
I love the long nights, it's 11.30pm here and the western sky is still bright, it wont get properly dark tonight and the sun will be up again in a few hours, but there is something depressing about knowing it's down hill from here.
In contrast the shortest day always thrills me, knowing that the winter has peaked, the Earth has completed another slow lap around the sun and is heading back to favour my end of the planet.
I know the summer is far from over and I know January can be the cruellest month but all the same, I choose the shortest day over the longest.
