FOGGY COUNTRYSIDE

Wintry landscape in country Victoria. The fog is lifting ever so slowly in the morning, but the grazing horses don't seem to mind. Gum trees are evergreen, and normally snow doesn't fall in low country such as this. However, there are plenty of cafés, pubs, delis and restaurant where fire is roaring in the fireplace and lots of delicious local food is served with piping hot drinks.

In the City, still cold and foggy some mornings, reminding us it's still early Spring!

FOGGY

Winter is lingering although we are officially into our calendrical Spring. Maybe we'll need to wait until the astronomical commencement of Spring at the Equinox in three weeks time to enjoy a stronger manifestation of Spring weather!

FOGGY

A cold and foggy morning today, a typical Winter's day in Melbourne. I walked in the Parklands for my exercise and was surprised by the presence of quite a few other people who had the same idea. Strict social distancing was observed - after all, there was enough room for everyone!

FOGGY

It's been cold and wintry these past few mornings, and on a couple of days we've had morning fog. Although I enjoy taking my morning walk in the fog, it's so lovely to come home to a warm house and a cup of steaming hot chocolate!

SILVER SUN

On July 13, a partial solar eclipse was visible from the southeastern coast of Australia, Tasmania, and New Zealand’s Stewart Island, as well as the northern coast of Antarctica. Earth has not seen a solar eclipse fall on a Friday the 13th since December 1974. Adding to the phenomenon, this moon will be a so-called dark supermoon—a new moon that arrives when the lunar orb is especially close to Earth.

While I was unable to catch sight of the partial eclipse, the diagram below shows the tiny sliver of the sun was obscured by the edge of the moon at maximum eclipse.

What I did get to photograph earlier that morning, however, was a foggy sky and a silver sun amongst the gum tree leaves. That too was quite beautiful on a cold Winter morning in Melbourne.

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.
