Solstice Dawn

A couple of years ago, I woke up on the morning of the winter solstice to a sky of spectacular colour - every single colour you see in this skein was apparent in the slightly cloudy dawn of that morning. For someone who really feels the sun turning away in the long winter moonths in terms of mood; the winter solstice marks for me a return to warmth, the beginnings of new plant growth and a lightening of mood.
