Solargraphs
« on: June 22, 2013, 03:36:45 AM »
You all know I have been doing these for a few years now, and this year I made a 365 days long solargraph.
I set this one up in a far out in the middle of nowhere place in the desert and luckily no one or nothing bothered it.   :)
From June 21, 2012 to June 21, 2013.
As you can see we get a LOT of sunny days here!    8)

Not much as far as foreground interest, but that was the plan...I was hoping it would look Rothko-ish and I think it does.
Thanks for looking!

The bottom one is from today!

Wonderful work Becky. The first one reminds me of Saturn's rings and the second a falling meteor. Top stuff!

These are lovely Becky! The second one reminds me of a Shuttle launch! What a wonderful solstice memory!

One more, then it's back to the waiting for time and the Sun to pass...  8)

This one is another year long solargraph aimed a bit to the southeast.
Lots of sunny days in my part of the world.
Thanks for looking!   :)

p.s. LEAF, that second one does look sorta like a Shuttle launch.  Too bad we don;t get those any more.  :'(
