Winter Days

This picture links to a time-lapse video http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap071204.html showing the position of the sun throughout a year, an analemma, which is Greek for the surface of a sundial. I have looked at numbers of pictures of this formation and it always takes my breath away . . .

Thoreau pointed out that people look to other people to find love in their lives, but there is meaning and purpose in nature everywhere you look and breathe. It is where you can find the greatest peace.
