Welcome to December folks!
I bet some of you are looking at the picture above and thinking gosh, that Bertie chappie is casting a long shadow, he must be out and about on the beach in Aberdeen near sunrise or sunset.
Oh but how wrong you would be. Here at the onset of winter, at over 57ºN, this is about as good as it gets, sun-wise. The photo was taken close to midday and believe me, there is precious little warmth when the rays are coming from so low in the sky.
What sort of shadow do you cast?
(Please not that this question is a purely scientific one, and not to be answered in terms of Jungian psychoanalysis....)
