WINTER SOLSTICE

The winter solstice (or hibernal solstice), also known as midwinter, is an astronomical phenomenon marking the day with the shortest period of daylight and the longest night of the year. In the Northern Hemisphere this is the December solstice and in the Southern Hemisphere this is the June solstice.

 This year in Melbourne we had a suitably cold, grey, wet and wintry day marking this annual occasion.

    Here it's the first day of summer. 6 months from now, I'll be jealous of your weather!

    I celebrated the day with espresso outside, under the umbrellas. And outside gas heater.

    Celebrated the first day of summer at our favorite little coffee shop in the North Woods. Sadly, they are selling the building. Their plan is to retire. Lucky them!
