Last Sunset of Spring
Uploaded: June 21, 2013
This year, the solstice was on Thursday, June 20 for places in North America west of the Central Time Zone, occurring at 10:04 P.M. Pacific Daylight Time. But the solstice falls on Friday, June 21 at 1:04 A.M. Eastern Daylight Time and 12:04 A.M. Central Daylight Time. The timing of the solstice depends on when the Sun reaches its farthest point north of the equator.
Quote of the Day:
“Press close, bare-bosomed Night!
Press close, magnetic, nourishing Night!
Night of south winds! Night of the large, few stars!
Still, nodding Night! Mad, naked, Summer Night!”
-Walt Whitman

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.
Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
