Skagen is at 57.730 N (and 10.630 E) which is pretty close to same latitude as Gothenburg and Lindome where Daniel lives. Today, Saturday 23 Sep, sun rise was at 07:06 and sunset will be 19:13, all in Danish/European summertime (=GMT+1hour). Thus 'real sun time' was in fact close to 6am and will be 6pm so we are indeed at fall equinox. This issue prompted me to add a couple of fresh photos to my section of the LUG-gallery. I was a few minutes late on the sunrise on my daily/weekly morning swim last Saturday: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/madstorben/Equinox+fall+06/P9164507.jpg.htm l Sweden is in the not-so-far-away background. You may notice a few 'black things' in the water to the left. Here is a closer look: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/madstorben/Equinox+fall+06/P9164501_ORF.jpg .html - A family of swans with heads down while 'grassing'. Colours of foliage are changing now around here, also in my garden: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/madstorben/Equinox+fall+06/P9234529_ORF.jpg .html Thanks for looking, Mads
