21st June 2011
For those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, today is officially the longest day of the year.
This is the point where the Sun is at its highest point which is also its most northerly point in the sky in the Northern Hemisphere and when we receive the most hours of daylight.
The Sun reaches its most Northerly point in the sky at 17:16 UTC. It is only at the point momentarily where it will make its way south shortly after. The days will get shorter and shorter from now until our Winter Solstice in December.
These photos were taken during Michaels recent visit to Luxor in Egypt earlier in June this year. Happy summer solstice everyone!
