The Longest Day


Yesterday was the summer equinox which started for me shortly after sunrise at 5am BST (4am GMT) when, still rather bleary-eyed, I leaned out of the window and aimed my zoom lens at the Hare & Hounds up on Werneth Low. I then went back to bed.


This is how it looked at noon GMT (1pm BST).


Sunset was at around 21:45 BST (8.45pm GMT) which is when I took this third shot of the day.

See how it looked at the same time last year.

Photographing a bar at 5:00 o'clock in the morning? Bit early isn't it?

Nice series! I think I prefer the early morning one though.
