Each New Year's Eve, I've recommitted to the daily observation of the sunrise and sunset. The original premise- that it is possible to affirm our connection to one another and to the natural world through participation in a shared, elemental experience hasn't changed. As each new year dawns, I like to come up with a different way to invite others to join the project. 2016 is a leap year, as was 2008 when the project began. It seems mildly auspicious and a good excuse to propose something major.

thank you Alyce- perfect
Last sunset of 2016 in Alpine, TX. 6:04 PM
- from Alyce Santoro
I was outside capturing the sun setting - with bell, of course! - on the last day of 2016! I can't tell you how many times I THOUGHT of ringing the bell at sunrise or sunset, or didn't get satisfactory documentation!! It was my MISSION not to let 2016 slip by without a single documented ringing...alas, I am without good wi-if at the moment and uploading the evidence will have to wait until tomorrow!
Last sunrise of the year

Here Comes Santa Claus
December 1, 2016. Sunset 4:51 PM
San Mateo, CA
Leaving Fred. Walking down the hallway with the little Santa Light on the floor and the rush hour traffic at the end of the hall outside the door, there was just something about it. The light. The stillness. A sense of suspension.

Flash of light spreading over the world
November 9, 2016. Sunrise 6:44 AM
San Francisco, Ca
day after the election- The sun DID rise today. But not as usual. I happened to catch the exact moment that the sun crossed the horizon and you can see the flash of light when that happens. It’s worth a look. best wishes and much love Brenda

early days are here again (for the moment)
November 6, 2016. Sunrise 6:40 AM
San Francisco, Ca
This is the first sunrise after the return to standard time for those of us who stepped away. May this jump to earlier light in the morning brighten the days to come in every way. Best wishes to everyone on the eve of election day.
