Lake Manasarovar, Tibet

from Barbara Held:

I wanted to send you a special photo of sunset at Lake Manasarovar, a sacred pilgrimage spot in Tibet. This was just before we did a fire ceremony … an incredibly moving moment on this big adventure!

July Challenge

Many thanks to my niece, Hannah for this month's challenge- ODE TO THE SUN.

How many things can you do at once?
Follow the sun up or down as it crosses the horizon, make some noise and document it at the same time?
Share here, on Facebook and/or with friends when you are done!

the earliest sunrise so far!!!

Sunset 8:58. July 3, 2016
Buffalo, NY


It's always very fun and challenging to try and figure out where you are and what time it is on the earth below from the middle of nowhere in the sky. I look at the map on the seat back video and then lookup the sunset/rise time over the nearest city. This time it looked like Buffalo, NY at 8:58.

Heading south in the far far north...

Paide vald, Gulf of Finland

More of the lovely late-in-the-day sunsets from Joe. From the Gulf of Finland. This one is earlier quite a bit earlier than the one from yesterday. They are heading south-- What a great way orient yourself on the planet. Safe travels!!!
