I took the above photograph of the sun setting over the University of Denver's Ritchie Center the other day from the balcony of my condo here in Denver. The sky was a spectacular color, and the television weather forecasters, who feature sunset photographs on their nightly reports, say that it is the low angle of the sun that causes such dramatic results. I guess that is one benefit of such short daylight hours, but happily, in less than a month the winter solstice will occur (get ready, all you Druids out there), and slowly but surely the days will begin to get longer. Can't wait - no wonder the winter solstice was such a big deal back in pagan times.
