This weekend I celebrate midsummer in the workplace. Enjoying the sun, the plants and my plans for this place. One of the inspirations for my workplace is De Werkplaats (The Workplace) from Kees Boeke. A school where craftmanship, art, dancing, writing, gardening, animal care and sports where part of the curriculum.

As reality becomes more elusive - the summer solstice reminds one of the beauty and magnificence of the natural world. How will you express your gratitude for the earth's bounty? What do you do to protect and preserve them?

The sun begins to rise over the horizon of the sea on a clear, calm morning. Small waves are on the sea's surface.

Today after morning coffee (with cinnamon and vanilla sugar) I got an impulse to tilt the cup in various ways and as result the shape formed on wall of cup.
I just looked at it, and these thoughts popped in my head:
* the running man
* a lighting (may be by Perun?)
* a huge root of a tree (The Great Oak or Yggdrasil?).
It was an interesting thing to do, and it was special for me to do something like this first time ever exactly on Winter #Soltice

Happy winter (summer) #soltice, everyone. Took place early this morning at 03:27 UTC. https://www.timeanddate.com/calendar/winter-solstice.html

when #shortestday meets #coldday.

i woke up right after noon and it was still below 10°C, like 9°C. so #cold i decided it’s not suitable for taking a shower, ha! #truestory.

#goodnews is that the #sun is going to spend a little more time with us as from tomorrow. a sign of #hope.

Last night was a shortest night and I marked it by setting off from the house at sunset and walking a big loop through paths, woods, fields, and town that I know pretty well, returning at sunrise, seven hours later.

Fields out of town were roaring with distant ring road traffic. Town at 3am was silent.

Here is pre-dawn light and mist rising. You can't hear the dawn chorus (but I could!).

I still find it hard to believe that so many humans and animals sleep all night. On the other hand, I am tired now!

Foreground black. Above that a horizontal band of blue-grey mist, then a band of very dark grey trees silhouetted against a sky of pale blue, wispy clouds with nearly white sky above.

@kiff feliz solstício de inverno. #soltice

Wishing everyone a happy and merry Christmas far and near. Hope the rest of the year gives you plenty of warmth, love and happiness! #vanlife.is #vanlifeiceland #vanlifeiniceland #vanlife #iceland #Christmas #saturnalia #soltice #ReturnOfSunshine

An image from Iceland of a snow covered plain with the setting sun behind it. Stones and lava rocks are poking up through the snow in various areas giving the image great contrast from the white smoothness of the drifting and blowing snow.

Solidarity with my Jewish comrades.

Happy #Soltice to you all! This song is especially important to me and written by a fabulous musician who makes primarily #ChildrensMusic, but has a great holiday album that this track is a part of :heart_pride:
