As the Sunrise Creeps Northwards

By Vickilane


About a month to go till Summer Solstice when the sunrise will begin its journey back to the right(southwards.)

For reference, below is a pre-sunrise picture from the Winter Solstice--the sun is brightening the sky behind those trees on the right.

Such a journey! Growing up in the suburbs with no clear view of sunrise or sunset beyond an occasional trip to the beach, I had no idea of how the sunrise moves.  Sure, science teachers explained it, but it took living with it to really grasp the concept.
