Another so soon? It’d been such a miserably overcast October that any hint of Sun was a joy, and I was out anyway this day, a long walk west to St James’ Park to wander around with my mum and drink wine and gawp at pelicans. I’d timed the lockdown-permitted meeting to be here atContinue reading “7th November 2020 12:00”

Yes, 12:00 – this is the first one out of British Summer Time, so back an hour we go. The Earth’s orbit doesn’t care for such things, and GMT is the real time – the Sun’s highest at actual midday. With a second lockdown freshly in place and a month of inactivity looming, I decidedContinue reading “4th November 2020 12:00”

The next day though was a bit brighter, the cloud a bit higher and more transparent, and I arrived by the river to find the Sun much much lower than two and a half weeks previously. There’s no denying it changes quickly at this time of year. So this was the first one on theContinue reading “16th October 2020 13:00”

This was last chance saloon for a while. The forecast for the rest of the week was dire, and then I was meant to be away for a few days. I woke to rain but the forecast said the cloud would break. I left the flat under heavy skies and tried to find value inContinue reading “29th September 2020 13:00”
22nd September 2020 13:00
This was a day on which I really wanted sunshine. The four days in the year that I care about more than others are solstices and equinoxes, and today is the autumn equinox. I started when the Sun was at its northernmost. And today, and hour and a half after these photos, the Sun wouldContinue reading “22nd September 2020 13:00”

I’d been away a bit, amazing after that spring and summer. On top of that, the end of August and start of September saw foul weather. So this was the first clear chance in a while. The sky was ridiculously blue and the shadow pleasingly sharp, but that’s not going to help locate it accuratelyContinue reading “13th September 2020 13:00”

Another beautiful day, but this time it was really pushing it. I had to cram myself into the alley heading riverwards from St Olaf’s car park, and just about managed to see the Sun in the Shard between the buildings, ceilings and railings. Looking north from here, this is probably the last time I’ll getContinue reading “11th August 2020 13:00”
31st July 2020 13:00
Four weeks later I made it back again. This was a bit more of a surreptitious mission, I was out with a friend and I hadn’t told him, and we walked to London Bridge intent on carrying on the previous night’s revelries. That was the easy part of course, we’d had years of practice atContinue reading “31st July 2020 13:00”
3rd July 2020 13:00
It was a much nicer day a couple of weeks later, although a few clouds rolled in just in time to make it interesting. Still, at least you can see the Sun in this shot. I have to admit this was at 13:01 – I was there and snapping at 13:00 on the nose, butContinue reading “3rd July 2020 13:00”
