Last sunrise of autumn

The sun rose through the eastern line of trees and over the Kilkenny range this morning.  Tomorrow morning's sunrise will be in winter.  This panoramic shows the sun at its most southerly in our morning sky.  The timeless and incessant rotation of the earth starts bringing our favorite yellow orb back to the north for the next six months.  Then, in the third week of June next year, we'll have almost 8 hours more daylight compared to today.  The sun will be rising that day much further to the left in this photo, and three hours earlier!
