December sun

Despite lots of thick cloudy days we do get the sun bursting through, and some magnificent cloudscapes too.  Above is the East side of the island, looking over towards Hoy and Flotta and heading towards the Graemsay Pier.  I love it when the sun bursts through the clouds.

Sunset is at 15:15 today, and will get earlier for the next couple of weeks until the solstice!  Sunrise is at08:50 and that gets later for a few days even past the solstice.  Then the light returns! As you can see, the sun has snuggled down between the Hoy hills for the night....

I get to watch the sunset from the sitting room too in Winter which is awesome.
