At this time of year, notice where the sun is setting on your western horizon. Sunsets around these days will be as far north as the sun will go on the horizon. Now it begins to move south a little bit each day until Winter Solstice. In our photos here, we're going to mark near the water tower as the northern most sunset and, hopefully, we'll remember in December to see how far the sun goes to the south.

  7. John, I see by the time on the photos that you must be an early riser! I guess if you don't want to miss some ship photos you have to e up early.
