Image Details:

Today, December 22, is the winter solstice, when the sun shines directly on the Tropic of Capricorn. The sun will rise from the most southerly point in the east, cross the southernmost sky, and set from the most southerly point in the west.
It is rare to see such clear weather in Taipei in winter, so I spent the whole day photographing the southernmost trajectory of the sun in the sky of Taipei! The tallest building on the left is Taipei 101. It's a pity that various problems were encountered during shooting, so the sun's trajectory could not be perfectly presented. But I don’t know when the winter solstice will meet such a clear sky again, so I’d like to share this sun track on the winter solstice with you.
The sun was photographed from 7:35 am to 4:02 pm.
