December 21 Winter Solstice

Again on the Turtle Flambeau Flowage, I walked in search of shadows on this, the shortest day of the year. With the sky in complete overcast, I didn't find any. With not much of a prospect to photograph sunset or the night sky, I chose to look at these sedges, fallen over into the frozen flowage. Tonight will last 15 hours in Madison, after just 9 hours of daylight. But don't worry, the sun's rays will get stronger now as the northern hemisphere tilts toward it a little more each day. By February 1, we'll have 9 hours, 57 minutes of daylight.
