Finally, we have reached the shortest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. At least things will start going the right direction now. Some serene images to celebrate. Happy Solstice to everyone and special thanks to our Lens Artists host for providing some great challenges throughout 2021 including this one.


Lovely images.

Fabulous photos for your solstice. My Summer Solstice was a 38C day followed by lightning and thunder but no rain.:)

Hi, Karina. What gorgeous images. They are very serene–given the light, the scene, and the subdued colors. Just lovely. The backlit leaves are striking. 😀😀. All the best in 2022!
