The summer solstice, also known as “midsummer,” takes place when one of the Earth’s poles is tilted toward the sun at its maximum degree. In the northern hemisphere here in Canada, it is counted as the longest day of the year, and marks the beginning of our summer season.
Sun photographer Tim Smith headed out early on Monday morning to capture the rising sun on the day of solstice — June 21 — at the Richardson Pioneer Grain Terminal at Kemnay, west of Brandon, and was greeted with a mostly clear sunrise and a gorgeous summer sky.
