#HAPPY #WINTERSOLSTICE! IN CALI, THE EXACT SOLSTICE TIME = 9:11am!
ART: "Winter Solstice (Snow Queen)" by Olga Ulanova, http://east-27.com/
"Winter solstice marks the shortest day of the year. This image celebrates the increasing daylight as Sun's ebbing comes to a halt — embodying hope, rebirth and revival that comes with the new year. The Snow Queen beginning to relinquish her hold on nature, as it were. Inspired by the art of turn-of-the-century illustrators like Kay Nielsen and Arthur Rackham."
