dailybell calendar challenge 2016

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.

Happy Leap Day 2016!

Sunrise 6:43 AM. February 29, 2016
San Francisco, CA.

This is the 3rd Leap Day since beginning dailybell in 2008 (also a Leap Year).

Some fun “facts” about Leap Day:

This is the 4th Leap Year of a Leap Century. Leap centuries occur every 400 years.

And if that’s not enough info, try this.

FYI- Past leap days for the dailybell:
Leap Day 2012 Sunset
Leap Day 2008 Sunrise
Leap Day 2008 Sunset
