Sunset time for the 2024 stick, which has survived another year of climate change.
The insurance situation is absurd. I’m not sure any coverage will pay for anything anymore (though they certainly charge me as if it will). Time to self-insure? Here are pictures for insurance purposes.

Because this beach faces South, the sun can go down and the moon can come up on opposite sides of the beach.
Sun down
Moon up
And then the next morning, the sun can come up while the moon sets.
Sun up
Moon down
The Stick in October is ideal. What people? We’re not in Norway anymore, moonie.

On this day I knew the shot, the reason I brought my camera on the expedition. The day before there was a magnificent scene of the moon high over an eagles nest along the river. I wanted to capture it on “film.” This next day, I got that shot, but did not. Over the 24 hours the moon had moved more than I knew, and was beyond the nest when I arrived at the spot shown in the last photo here. That was good luck! I took photos of this and more, and as I headed home an eagle soared over me, and as I turned to watch, did 3 large 360’s over the *other* nest mounted along the river nearby. The eagle drew me back to a high perch above the nest and tree to take the first 2 photos here. It’s in there!

A walk by the Shenandoah
When the sun was sinking
Sunset happened
And the solstice lights appeared on the bridge
And on Odin.
