The Winter solstice, shortest days daylight of the year, Sunrise 08.41am, sunset 15.37pm
my solstice cycle was in fact the following morning as on a split shift at work allowing a ride in daylight, the official time of the solstice was 4.30pm on Thursday 21st, i was still inside 24 hours of that time so this ride still counted!...
Onto the bike and down to ride through the grass dunes at Archerfield and onto the coast...
Miles of tracks here, the day dawned misty and murky, but as by magic along the coast was brighter with some nice light..
Low tide and Eyebroughty island accessible , though that would mean wet sand and need to wash the bike afterwards, i was just out for a quick 2 hour fix, some pics and some film to record the day...
Dropping off the dunes and onto the sand to ride around to Marine Villa...
The rocks here when wet catch the light with their square edges and have bright lichen...
Photo stop at Marine Villa before riding back to the van at work and again although only a mile inland return of murky weather... love the magic light of the coast!...
Here is a quick wee film,
