The Day The Sun Stood Still
Sunrise: 04:13 am
Sunset: 10:18 pm
Summer solstice has fascinated me in many ways. Apart from seeing more of the day in summertime, it is the day when the sun stands still and the longest day of the year, being today, ends the midsummer celebration. It was prognosed earlier that the weather wouldn’t conform with the celebration as it didn’t on the first day but it ended quite well and warm enough to have a grill in the backyard, with jackets or cardigans on. When the sun stood still today, I saw no aliens, as opposed to the film, When The Earth Stood Still. I got this fascinating view through my kitchen window instead…

And what should I do when the sun’s still up? I took pictures of this lone air balloon in the sky until it dropped to somewhere beyond my sight. All I could imagine was it seemed to drop on the roof when it actually didn’t.

Summer Solstice
Summer Solstice 2008
Yesterday was Midsummer Day and a holiday here, but this celebration hasn’t been so festive as the day before which is called the Midsummer Eve. It’s a celebration of dance around a flower-decorated pole, while the dancers wear a summer wreath on the head. But I’m not keen on that cos there’s something I always look forward to on midsummer day – the summer solstice – the longest day and shortest night happens. I always took a picture of how bright it is at 10.00-11.00 in the evening. This time, I was lucky cos no rain and I even captured a lone bird in the bright sky.
