Such a lovely day in Vancouver at least tomorrow we get more daylight to enjoy it 👍

And for stargazers tonight...a convergence of Jupiter and Saturn - but because of their close proximity, they will appear to the naked eye to be one bright star.

This day is the one I am desperately waiting for, from the moment where I can feel daylight time shortening.

Due to katabatic "chinook" winds overnight, I awoke to 50 degrees F (~10C) at 6am this morning. Definitely not wintry, although these are common winter conditions here in the rain shadow of the Rocky Mountains.

Looking forward to longer days for sure.

I don't mind the cold or the snow that much. The darkness on the other hand, is the worst part of the season.

While I know OF is Northern Hemisphere centric, it's the summer solstice for those of us residing south of the equator. Sunrise at 05:32 this morning and sunset at 19:59 this evening in beautiful Cape Town. From now on the days are darker and shorter...

The latest sunrise isn't until January 4, but at least each day gives us a little more sunlight.

I'm at about 40 degrees N, and it's the same for us.

It's damn dark this morning in Surrey. Sure it's not any better in Vancouver. 🤔
