If you live north of the Equator, June 21 marks the summer solstice for you. This date is when the Northern Hemisphere reaches its maximum tilt toward the Sun and has its longest stretch of daylight all year.

In the Southern Hemisphere, the opposite is true today! Today is the start of winter and the shortest day for friends south of the Equator.

Wishing you a happy solstice (winter or summer, as the case may be). Unless you're a flat earther, in which case, Happy Inexplicable Phenomenon!

cemetery of laeken, brussels.

the story of a marble worker evrard flignot who devastated by the death of his wife built a mausoleum for her. at first look inside, there is a mourner reaching out to an empty wall. but, once a year, on the day of the summer solstice, the sun draws a light that recalls this love for almost a century.
