Greetings from San Cristobal and beyond. Today I did what I’ve done for the past number of years on the winter solstice, I drove to the San Luis Valley to my favorite barn to catch the moment the sun shines through a hole in the roof. There are many holes in the rooftop, as you can see. This one stands out this year on the solstice, (2:48, MDT). Here’s last year’s moment in black and white at the red barn.
Moving ever so slightly to the south the sun hits the pitch peak of the roof, perfectly.
And for those who celebrate Christmas…
Ho ho ho, Jingle Bells!!!
It was a long day today so I’ll keep it short.
As always thank you for looking. I hope everyone gets what you asked for. Happy Holidays whichever one you celebrate. G
