Today marked the shortest day for us down here in New Zealand. The sun arose late and set early. Otherwise known as winter solstice, it is also known in New Zealand as Maruaroa O Takurua – the beginning of the Maori new year (traditionally), which as well as being tied into legend, is identified by the Pleiades star cluster having its first appearance.
I liked todays image, as tied into the title, the fishermen are catching the last moment of sun as they hope to pull in ‘a big one’ from Lake Pupuke.
Aside from resizing, straight from the camera (GRD)
Today is our longest day. Beautiful shot.
Thanks! – whilst I do like winter, I’m looking forward to the days getting a bit longer light wise.
