Happy summer solstice!
To you in the south, happy winter solstice!

Sunrise over the Sea of Galilee. View from Tiberias looking toward the Golan Heights.

Enjoy other views of the sky on today's Sky Watch, hosted by Tom at Wiggers World.

  1. Happy SWF! We had the sky up there, all speckled with stars, and we used to lay on our backs and look up at them, and discuss about whether they was made or only just happened... mine's up too hope you can drop by.

  24. Happy solstice to you. It'll be FĂȘte de la Musique tomorrow, music everywhere in every street... it's a balmy 32° today, should be a magic night!

  25. These words, places, live in my history, Sea Of Galilee, and I reckon I know that place , I am aware of it from somewhere deep inside, altho, I have not stepped foot there, at least in this lifetime.
    A great teacher was there.
    I still feel his presence.
    Happy to have a photo to go with the heart felt connection.
