Sunrise part 2

Having posted an album on the sunrise just a few days ago, this morning I noticed that the sun is already rising on the other side of the condo. This change has happened in just 10 days. So presumably the earth's movement is equivalent to the width of the condo in 10 days!

The first 5 photos show the sun rising to the right of the condo, on 14th Sept,





and the next 4 photos show the sun rising to the left of the condo on 4th Sept.





Unfortunately I wasn't up in time to take photos of the sunrise on the 21st, the Autumn equinox. However when I looked out half an hour later, the sun was definitely to the right of the condo. Now I will have to follow it over the next few weeks, to see if it continues its journey to the right until the winter solstice as mentioned by Jan below. OK..... I know the sun doesn't move, it's the earth that moves, so in fact we are moving left, not the sun moving right!!!

    Interesting. Try to take a picture on 22-9, the autumnal equinox.

    I don't know. The sun will then be directly above the equator.
    The sun will continue rising more and more to the right in your pics until the winter solstice (21-12), then slowly move back again.

    Right.......... I'll try and keep a log of it, though of course it depends if I'm awake in time and if there is any sun - the haze is back today, so maybe no sun tomorrow!!!
