Happy Solstice!
For us in the north, days are getting longer again, thankfully. We're down to 6h 12m of daylight today where I live, and that's not nearly enough.
For those in the south, tough luck. It's your turn now.
A very happy and blessed #Yule / #WinterSolstice to everyone celebrating today! (And if you’re in the southern hemisphere, a happy and blessed #Litha / #SummerSolstice!)
Depending on what you might be celebrating today, Happy:
Yule,
Humbug Day,
Winter Solstice,
and Summer Solstice!
Happy Winter Solstice to all of you in the Northern hemisphere!
and connected to that...
Happy Summer Solstice to all of you in the Southern hemisphere!
Happy Solstice to those who celebrate it
Happy #SummerSolstice.

‘Feel me now as Mother of Water
I reflect the rays of the sun at its height.
I am the sparkle in the life-bringing rain.
Drink from my springs, be refreshed & healed.’
- Wendy Andrew
enjoy your #summer #solstice longest day everyone
#summerSolstice
It was aimed at fertility, the worship of the sun, and other elements associated with crops. It originated on the day of the #summersolstice when the day is the longest and the night is the shortest.
Check out today’s issue: a REPORTER’S NOTEBOOK:
Myroslava takes us to #Kupala Night, an ancient Ukrainian tradition that some argue pre-dates #christianity
The custom involves fertility wreaths, cleansing fires and late-night flower hunting — all tied to the #summersolstice

#Berlin this time of year doesn’t really get night time. The #summersolstice was recent, and during this time we get some twilight hours, but not dark night. It’s a period of waking up early and going to sleep late. We have a city wide free music festival (Fête de la Musique), and other “night” club/openair events are more numerous than any other time of year. The city wide fashion week, and 48h art festival all over the art district continue in coming weeks.
“Night: Not for this day”
a little summer survival secret i like to share every year is that the best way to apply sunscreen is when you’re completely naked
if you can’t do it yourself, have a friend or partner help you spray it or slather it on because it’s the only surefire way to make sure you don’t miss a spot.
• no streaks
• no splotches
• no unnecessary tanlines
• no burns in awkward or hard-to-reach spots (after-sun care is a must btw)
It's time to hurry home before the thunderstorm arrives. #cycling at the day of the #summersolstice
