Summer Solstice 2020
5,6 km – done
The official longest day of the year…and time to start my walk early (0425-0655) or I will miss sunrise! I wait patiently 05:20 hr…the sun has been over the horizon for 21 minutes….still I wait
Next to me in the wet grass….beautiful flowers. Foto: 05:38 hr
This is the first time in my life I’ve celebrated the summer solstice watching the sunrise! Today the Earth’s North Pole is on its maximum tilt toward the sun. Did you know Norway inside the Arctic Circle has just a 40 minute night b/t May and July? Foto: 05:42 …finally a glimpse of the sun.
I always look how the sunlight illuminates behind me….I call this the blue creek. Foto: 05:45 hr
This was a surpirse…the first woman jogger during my walks since I started on 12 April! Foto: 06:05 hr.
The farmers have said and done this (foto) for centuries: “Make hay while the sun shines”! Foto: 06:06 hr Just look at all my fotos today…and to think this all happens within a radius of 5 km from home! #NeedCoffee and croissant !

A wonderful way to acknowledge the solstice and the day. Enjoy your coffee and croissant.
Thank you Claire, my morning walks are truly a ‘zen moment’ in the day! There is beauty everywhere if you just slow down and see it.
Slow and in silence is a precious gift, the beauty and abundance of nature is overwhelming.
