I’ve got to hand it to Royal Mail. They appear to have handled the US tariff situation impeccably, with a built in handling and tax collection product (PDDP) Question is… why haven’t they implemented something similar for the EU?

The last image was overlooking the Mississippi river in Onalaska, from can #39,838. This Solarcan installation was slightly disturbed from a recent storm, and you can see the diverted angle of the sun's rays that show that the can was moved.

This image is from Appleton, can #39,806. The scan looked a little over exposed, so I processed it in black and white. The last image was overlooking the Mississippi river in Onalaska, from can #39,838.

Installing a @TheSolarCan pinhole camera between the winter solstice and spring equinox is a unique time in the N hemisphere, with no leaves on trees and the sun isn't too high, so it gets fully captured #pinholephotography #solarcan This image is from Oconto, WI #38,294

A modified mount with more upwards tilt for my next @TheSolarCan hoping to capture some window definition and also hoping to avoid much rain entering the can.

Is this the best Solarcan capture ever? https://t.co/xm5xD0mXhO

So I decided to go for the complete lap, & here’s the result of a 31.6 million second (give or take a few!) exposure😀. Apparently we did get some sunny days this year! @TheSolarCan #SolarCan

And we’re all up & running for another long exposure on this #SolarCan day. Considering whether to go for the usual 6 months, or do I dare leave it for a full lap around the sun… @TheSolarCan

The solstice would seem a good day on which to take down my @TheSolarCan, so I can see quite how seldom the Sun has come out since August! 🔭

I had a simple pinhole camera in my south-facing bedroom window for most of 2024, capturing a long-exposure photograph of the Sun's path. I think the result is really beautiful. It's both art and science. It's strangely poignant to see (nearly) 365 days flash by in one image.

The Mother, Seven Sisters & I. Once every 8 years Venus makes a pass through the Pleiades star cluster, more commonly known as the 7 sisters. That night was tonight and I was lucky enough to be able to capture it.
