Inspired by a combination of Mary's beautiful winter solstice post, my desire for warmth and sunshine, my new found vigour in uploading to flickr and my intention to start taking more photographs I have decided to track the lengthening of the days via a daily photograph from our verandah.
Today I was struck by how quickly a glowing orange sunset was enveloped by darkness. Initially I wanted to capture the moment in it's orange brilliance, but by the time I had walked the 15m into my bedroom and retrieved my camera, the sunset had dulled into a mauve blur.
A mere ten minutes later at 5:30pm the sky looked like this.
From now on every day I am home at 5:30pm I'll try to record the view from the same position. Bring on the sunshine!!!
In a few months time I'll be cursing the intense heat that pours through all our windows at that time. For now I'll enjoy the feeling of expectation while it lasts!

What a brilliant idea! I'm going to keep an eye on Flickr :-)
I'm going over to your Flickr to have a squiz! Such a good idea to document things at the same time each day.
