   The Earth Science Picture of the Day (EPOD) highlights the diverse processes   
   and phenomena which shape our planet and our lives. EPOD will collect and   
   archive photos, imagery, graphics, and artwork with short explanatory   
   captions and links exemplifying features within the Earth system. The   
   community is invited to contribute digital imagery, short captions and   
   relevant links.

      Shown above is a  pinhole camera’s view of the  path of the Sun,   
      from  solstice to solstice, captured from my location in the   
       south of England. The resulting trace is called a solargraph. The   
      topmost bright line here is the Sun's path on the date of the Summer   
      Solstice (June 21, 2022), and the very lowest bright line is the Sun's   
      path on date of the Winter Solstice (December 21, 2021). Note that the   
      dark striping translates to cloudy days -- times my observatories   
      (bottom of photo) got very little use. Remarkable here, though, is the   
      wide band of bright lines in late winter -- fine days to be outdoors   
      during the daytime and to set up my scopes at night. Compare this view   
      to that from  2015.   
      
      Photo details: For the first time since I’ve worked on these   
      solargraphs, I used color -- Ilford Multigrade IV RC De Luxe 8 x   
      10-inch photographic paper.
