Today is the winter solstice in the northern hemisphere–when the sun is at is maximum tilt away from the sun. It’s the shortest day of the year, and the longest night. There are many festivals and rituals all around the world to celebrate the solstice. Stonehenge comes to mind. My favourite is in Japan, where there is a custom to soak oneself in the yuzu (citrus fruit) hot bath.
It’s a good time of year to go out for a walk and enjoy the changing of the season. And if you’re like me, you’ll end up taking a few photos along the way.
