Morning beachride at Tyninghame...

 Sunrise 8.44am


Going through the darkest days of the year now between Christmas and New Year, having past the Solstice the daylight hours will soon be  growing longer.
A short cycle down at Tyninghame and there was only 2 cars at the car park and by the time i cycled the beach and tried out the new Go Pro - more about that in a bit the car park was nearly full an hour later when i left at 10am with festive holiday makers out walking, pays to get out early!...

Despite the low light there was still a nice light on the coast...

Wee film, Song is `Dead Souls` from The Crow Soundtrack

Winter Solstice 2019...

The sun shone for the winter solstice, shortest hours of daylight today,
It is a day i am more delighted to celebrate than the summer Solstice as it celebrates the turn of winter and daylight will start to extend again a few minutes a day.

It was good to get out with M with Johnny horse and Jake dog in lovely light...

Wee film catching the light, Song is `Skyliner` by Boards of Canada
