Happy Winter Solstice everyone!

My driveway lines up with the Sun this time of year, so I marked the occasion with an instax mini loaned to me by a friend.

You have a Stonehenge house! Nice shot, I love the solarization of the sol

Happened at night here at 47.0 N and 122.8 W, local time 2:44 + 9 min AM
I'll mark the shadow on the side of the house at 12:09 for lowest sun elevation of the year and photograph the shadow. We have a rare sunny day in the Pacific NW.

Looks like the sun burned a hole in your film Becky.  My wife gets excited about the solstice because the days start getting longer.   

John, you're just South of me.  I'm at about 47.76 N and 122.22 W (Bothell).  You must be down around Olympia.  Definitely a nice sunny day today!

Strangely, for me the solstice means it's time to change my toothbrush...

Right you are Bryan, right now just off Martin Way in Lacey (actually unincorporated Thurston county, the town limits run all crazy here). Just chalked a mark on the south facing wall at 12:09PM, suns lowest point this year at local noon. The time of year I use up most of my ISO 400 but also it is cold enough to get a bit of time in the bathroom/darkroom, summer is just too hot to set up.

This makes me wonder, how many other filmwasters in western Washington.

There is one from Seattle but I haven't seen him on the Forum recently.  I know of a few in the Portland, Oregon area and I think there are a few in BC.  There could be more, not everyone gives up their location.
