This was mine, from the front garden, taken at 10:10 last night.

Oops

Summer solstice evening then! We don't use the midsummer term here.

Germanshepherdsmum Fri 21-Jun-24 22:53:13

Er, the solstice was yesterday.

Sweden celebrated midsummer today

CanadianGran Fri 21-Jun-24 23:07:25

Yes, I took the photo last evening.

Glad Midsommar

Now we just need to nip out and find the 7 flowers to put under the pillow grin

I was on a ferry across the Kattegat yesterday. It was light until after 11pm.
The sunset wasn't great. Too much cloud?

Canadian Gran.

WOW, you are very lucky to live there. It is beautiful.

Nit picking German Shepherds mum (as always).

I’m with GSM.

Midsummer’s Day is the 24th, not the 21st.

It grates on me also when it is wrongly attributed.

Nit picking, maybe.

Correct, definitely.

How rude you are!
GSM is correct and its worth remembering how many of us welcome her accurate perspective on legal matters

Mamardoit Sat 22-Jun-24 07:25:28

Midsummer's day is the 24th June just as 25th December is Christmas Day. They are two of the legal quarter days and have nothing to do with the summer/winter solstice.

Joseann Sat 22-Jun-24 07:28:49

Stop being a meanie PoorJenny. GSM is factually correct in what she says.
Anyway, here's one from yesterday early evening in France where it had been a wet wet day.
Lovely photos of skies from others on here.

kittylester Sat 22-Jun-24 07:29:37

Lovely photos whatever day it is.

Mamardoit Sat 22-Jun-24 07:30:31

Michaelmas day is the one in September and there is one in March but I can't remember the name. They are nothing to do with the equinoxes.

Mamardoit Sat 22-Jun-24 07:32:07

I'm not sure if equinoxes is even the correct word. They are lovely photos.

Germanshepherdsmum Sat 22-Jun-24 08:10:34

That was very rude and quite unnecessary PoorJenny. I wasn’t nit picking, I was stating a fact. And what’s with the ‘as always’? Perhaps you could produce evidence to back that up.

I have reported you by the way.
