dailybell: turning the corner

dailybell

2008 was the inaugural year in an ongoing, aspirational project dedicated to the observation of the sun every time it crosses the horizon and to sharing the awareness of that moment with others while ringing bells. It is based on the conviction that something as inarguable as the movement of the earth can be used as a point of unity and awareness among large groups of people who might otherwise find it impossible to agree.

turning the corner

December 11, 2022. Sunset 4:50 PM. San Francisco, CA.

The end of a rainy day just before sunset.

We have finally reached the end of the 10-day run of earliest sunsets of the year! Tomorrow will tip the end of the day into the next minute of light! And we will very slowly extend the later edge of the day. Meanwhile the sunrise also continues to march forward well into January.
