Modern Day Hay Stook

Living here certainly is different from town life. I am aware of the seasons more and the rhythm of farm life. Driving up to the coast recently I noticed that every other field had been harvested. Of course haymaking doesn't involve so many workers these days. One often finds oneself behind an enormous monster of farm equipment. I find this rather sad.

Sunrise behind the Church in late June

One of the things I have observed since living here that I never noticed when living in town is the movement of the sun. I suppose it's really the earth's movement  but one sees it as the changing position of the sun's rising and setting. In mid summer it rises to the left of the church which is North East and sets almost 360 degrees round on the far side of the house which is North West.
In midwinter it rises about 45 degrees round to the side of the house which is South East and only moves about 45 degrees throughout the day to set in the South West.
