I've wanted to do a pinhole camera like this for years, but I've never had the right window or view for it. This one turned out really well! I can't wait for longer days, starting Friday.

It's December 18, and today's photo is an homage to the forthcoming winter solstice—which will visit the Northern Hemisphere on Thursday evening.
This image was a second-place finisher in a recent competition by the International Astronomical Union's Office of Education.
This year's contest welcomed astrophotography enthusiasts at all skill levels, including images taken with smartphones.
It combines images taken at different times of day over the course of six months, and each curve tracks the Sun’s path across the sky on a particular day.
The image was captured using a simple pinhole camera fashioned from a coffee can.
Stay warm out there in the Northern Hemisphere, y'all.
