Summer Solstice, 2020
Isle of Arran and Holy Isle
A beautiful, sunny day, today. Had a picnic next to the beach in Maidens, looking across Maidenhead Bay and the Firth of Clyde.
A couple of families were having a paddle in the water and some little kids were, at points, fully submersed! It was nice and warm BUT NOT THAT WARM! 20°C is not tropical! They did have a lot of fun, though.
Here, Gaoda Bheinn (Goat Fell) is the highest point, 874m.

SOLSTICE
À tous mes amis Flickr
Le solstice d’hiver approche. Ici, c’est un moment où le froid impose une pause propice à porter le regard plus loin, au-delà des nuages, là où tout a commencé.
Le temps est venu de vous saluer tous et de vous remercier de partager votre passion pour la photographie et l’art. Merci de votre appui, certains d’entre-vous depuis de nombreuses années. Un remerciement très spécial à Irina Dimulescu et à Catherine Péré qui m’ont encouragé à aller de l’avant avec mon projet - Le Monde de Poësia - un projet qui verra le jour, je l’espère, en 2023.
Je vous souhaite paix et sérénité en cette fin d’année. Joyeuses Fêtes mes amis.
Patrice, Québec

SOLSTICE
To all my Flickr friends
The winter solstice is approaching. Here, it's a moment when the cold imposes a break suitable to looking further, beyond the clouds, where it all began.
The time has come to greet you all and thank you for sharing your passion for photography and art. Thank you for your support, some of you for many years. A very special thank you to Irina Dimulescu and Catherine Péré who encouraged me to move forward with my project - The Lands of Poësia - a project that will see the light of day, I hope, in 2023.
I wish you peace and serenity in the end of the year. Happy Holidays my friends.
Patrice, Quebec

Our days in the Northern Hemisphere will get longer and hopefully brighter and more colourful again ...,
that means that every new day offers more time to take fantastic pictures :-))
Sorry for all my friends in the southern parts of our planet...
Happy Blue Monday!

The longest day of the year draws towards its close, with Titlington Pike (233m, 764ft) on the right of shot (and the Cheviots just off shot to the left).
Winter Solstice getting colder now as we head deeper into winter, this scene is the sun hitting some frost, shot in North Carolina.

Les gens me disent que le solstice d'hiver est la journée la plus sombre de l’année, la plus symbolique de l’hiver qui refroidi nos âmes…
Dommage pour eux.
Pourquoi ne font-ils pas comme moi?
En hiver, je garde simplement ma lumière intérieure allumée plus longtemps

People tell me that winter solstice is the gloomiest day of the year, the most symbolic for winter that freezes our souls. . .
Too bad for them.
Why not do like me?
In winter, I keep my inner light lit longer . . .

Worldwide, interpretation of the event has varied from culture to culture, but most cultures have held a recognition of rebirth, involving holidays, festivals, gatherings, rituals or other celebrations around that time.

As the plant hellebore flowers under the snow - a sign of hope, a miracle of nature. You can show us and say that life goes on even under a blanket of pain, suffering and sorrow.
Interestingly, around the Christmas rose a similar legend, like the Poinsettia climbs. This legend tells how a shepherd went to Bethlehem, but could not bring any gift because of its poverty. Since it was winter not even grow flowers. He was very sad about it, but his tears turned to the earth in hellebores, he brought with him as a gift.
The Christmas rose, also called thistle or black hellebore, opened in December with its subtle creamy white, sometimes pink or greenish, bell-shaped goblets the Blütenreigen. "For me, the Christmas rose is the epitome of everything beautiful and innocent"
Christmas roses as a symbol of purity and innocence.

Als Pflanze blüht die Christrose unter dem Schnee - ein Zeichen der Hoffnung, ein Wunder der Natur. Sie kann uns zeigen und sagen, dass das Leben weiter geht auch unter einer Decke von Schmerz, Leid und Trauer.
Interessant ist, dass sich um die Christrose eine ähnliche Legende, wie um den Weihnachtsstern rankt. Diese Legende erzählt, wie ein Hirte nach Betlehem ging, jedoch aufgrund seiner Armut kein Geschenk mitbringen konnte. Da es Winter war wuchsen noch nicht einmal Blumen. Er war sehr traurig darüber, aber seine Tränen verwandelten sich auf der Erde in Christrosen, die er als Geschenk mitbrachte.
Die Christrose, auch Schwarze Nieswurz oder Eberwurz genannt, eröffnet im Dezember mit ihren dezenten cremeweißen, zum Teil rosafarbenen oder grünlichen, glockenförmigen Kelchen den Blütenreigen. "Für mich ist die Christrose der Inbegriff alles Schönen und Unschuldigen"
Christrosen als Symbol für die Reinheit und Unschuld.
Wanted to rework this image that I had previously posted. This image was taken during last winter's solstice. I had intended that morning to drive to Portage to take sunrise photos. It took me longer to drive than expected. I ended up having to pull over to this rest stop along the Seward highway.
Wishing you all a Wondrous Winter, and a revival of joy in the New Year!
“Morning has come, arise and greet the day!
Dance with joy and sing a song of gladness! …
A new day dawns, once more the gift is giv’n.
Wonder fills this moment shared together. …
Open our eyes to see that life abounds;
open hearts to welcome it among us.
The light of love here shines upon each face.
May it bring faith to guide our journey home.”

Solstice moon rise impression. While sitting at the Beachcomber Restaurant on Saint Augustine Beach, FL, USA. A crazy and strange night and month. At my favorite place to eat in St Augustine. Good food, kids playground and dog friendly. It is placed right on the beach and very laid back...

Winter solstice. Today at 16.58 Norwegian winter time it goes again towards brighter times. A perfect day to greet the old Norse gods. The god of thunder Tor guards my magical runes while Alfar Odin guards the place.

This year we were treated to a full moon on the winter solstice. "The Cold Moon" illuminates the longest night of the year, ending its reign by setting behind the snow and cloud wreathed Continental Divide here, including (l to r) Pawnee Peak, Mount Toll, Mount Audubon, Sawtooth Mountain, and Saint Vrain Mountain.

A solstice is an event that occurs when the Sun appears to reach its most northerly or southerly excursion relative to the celestial equator on the celestial sphere. For an observer on the North Pole, the Sun reaches the highest position in the sky once a year in June.
