Last week the southern hemisphere has its shortest day of the year, with almost 10 hours of sunlight and 14 hours of darkness.
Known as Winter Solstice, the phenomenon occurs each year when the southern hemisphere is tilted away from the sun. The sun is at its furthest point from the equator, appearing lower in the sky.
As a turning point between winter and summer, the days will gradually become longer and the nights shorter now. I for one am glad for this changeover, as I enjoy more sunlight and achieve more during daylight hours.
