Dec 21, 2025 Summer/Winter Solstice
Depending on which hemisphere you are in! It is Summer Solstice here in the Antipodes, “down under”! We got up early to catch the sunrise on the ‘longest day of the year’ (most hours of daylight in the 24 hour day). We drove up to Te Mata Peak, the highest point around, to see the sunrise.
Beautiful sunrise over Hawkes Bay.
