The solstice sunset!
From tomorrow, the days will be brighter.
This is the 2nd of 3 celebrations, though: the evenings started to get brighter last week, the days start brightening tomorrow, and the mornings will start on the 31st.
More celebrating to look forward to!

The December solstice is today, 21st December, 2025. Today the sun will be directly above the most southerly latitude of the Earth for a moment, before heading off north again. And that moment is now, 15:02 Dublin time.

There's already a "grand auld stretch" in the evenings - which presumably means the mornings are darker for longer. But I try to ignore that by sleeping through it 😉
