Equinox

Spring Equinox 10

Happy Equinox, everyone! The sun is back, days are longer than nights, and my sleep schedule has successfully been disrupted by daylight savings time. I have begun my goal, which is a photo merge of both Solstices and both Equinoxes, with this sunset merge of the spring Equinox. As you can see, the sun is setting behind Mt. Spurr. Just to give you an example of the dramatic changes at this latitude, the mountain towards the left of Spurr is Mt. Redoubt (recently erupted!). The sun several weeks after the winter Solstice sets several degrees south of Redoubt, near to Iliamna which is hidden by the clouds in this shot. At the far right is Mt. Foraker, neighbor to Denali which is just hidden behind the trees.
