Equinox: summer ends, autumn begins

Just after half past six this morning, the sun rose over the Las Kabacki forest. Just over four hours later, the sun crossed the celestial equator as we move from summer into autumn. Above, the last sunrise of summer 2007. Below, the first sunset of autumn 2007, just before half past six this evening. Both pictures taken from our attic. After sunset, the air still smelt of summer, as if that season did not want to fade away. A few trees are changing colour; otherwise the onset of autumn has yet to arrive. I shall be travelling to Seville and London this week - interesting to see whether autumn will be there to greet me on return to Jeziorki next Saturday.



Twice a year at Equinox, just after 10am, the sun shines through the round attic window directly onto the bathroom door. A nice alignment.
