Sunset, post solstice changing of the seasons, musical food for thought

We are now past the solstice, days are getting longer or shorter depending on where you are on the big blue planet.

How is your day looking? Are you all wrapped up or sweating it out. Are you dreaming of winter or dreaming of summer?

Introduction

I am going to contrast summer and winter in a few original photos and songs to give those of us on either sides of the world a nice little break from "reality". If you are one or in the other you may be better prepared for working. Do you want to work on a beautiful warm day with the sun on your face, or is it easier to sit in front of the computer with the flakes falling outside. Is better writing possible when going outside is less "fun"... depends really.

Winter

Original photo taken by me when the days were once getting longer... winter is coming.

Depending on where you are in the world, it is time for the barbie out by the beach or time for pulling out the warm clothes and baking to keep the house warm.

Northern hemisphere version:

on the beach, all is good, if a bit downtempo...

Antipodal (winter) version:

Winter is... here.

Maybe the best option is to be happy where you are, when you are? Just listen to music and let it happen.

Summer sunset over the ocean...

Another original photo, different ocean, different hemisphere, same star. I like the reflection.

Haiku to top it up:
short days long days how, blue planet rounds the sun fast, songs take us away

Or in 5-7-5 format:

short days long days how
blue planet rounds the sun fast
songs take us away

Bonus tracks: for each side of this planet:

is the livin' easy?

or as long as you hold me tight?

Enjoy wherever you may be! :)
