Fluidr / Sunset Over San Pedro Town by courtney

A lone Magnificent Frigatebird creates a tiny black speck against a vast glowing canvas of cloud that is kindled to life by the setting sun, San Pedro, Belize.

Today marks the Winter Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere, where folks in these climes are wrapped in winter’s darkest robes for the greatest length of time. The day entreats us to think about light and the steady rotation of our planet’s tilted axis around the sun, and perhaps, our place within it all.

Here’s to a beautiful year, and all the light it brought!
