Winter Solstice, a Time for Reflection



Welcome to 2012 Winter Solstice

Winter Solstice, a period of so much darkness, to me is a time to turn inward. A time for quiet reflection and as the earth slumbers, inner peace is restored.  The video, “Winter Solstice” is my reflections of special moments over the past year.





Winter Solstice 2012


 
Winter solstice occurs on December 21st.
When the sun shines directly over the tropic of Capricorn.
  The sun appears at its lowest point in the sky, 
marking the shortest day and the longest night of the year.
  The word solstice from Latin, solstitium, sol, sun.  
  A balance between the forces of day and night.
 Nature's reprieve from summer follies,
when nature lies dormant all around us and stillness settles over the land.
  A time for quiet reflection, to reflect on the passing year.
 The longest night surrenders, the light shines on a new day, 
renewing our inner light, and focus for a new year.
 




What an exciting and interesting photo-adventure this day has been.  I love it when I am drawn to an area and not knowing what to expect I get treated to new experiences.

Photography places me in the moment where I can share that moment in time. It becomes a life story as represented by my interaction with the scene. The happiness and beauty or the sorrow and strife; how I focus leaves a lasting impression that might touch the viewer on a spiritual level.
