December 21st is the longest night and shortest day of the year and is also the winter solstice here in the Northern Hemisphere (summer solstice in the Southern Hemisphere).

The winter solstice is a time of celebration for pagans and marks the start of Yule, also the rebirth of the Sun and the start of winter.

So I was not surprised to see such a dramatic Sunset today, as luck would have it there was another photographer also ready for this sunset and I managed to get some images of him against a sky that appeared to be on fire.

There ever-changing light and a change of position gave some nice shots.

Ok I took over 40 images but I will use only three here.
