Successful Solarigraph

Monotone image in bluey-green, showing the sun's path over the course of six months. The paths form a series of smooth bright curves stacked on top of each each. The outline of some trees mark the horizon. There is not much detail in the lower darker, lower half of the image. Along the top edge is some water damage.
Successful Solarigraph: My first successful solarigraph, albeit with a bit of water damage (note to self: add drainage holes); and need to put the hole higher up on the can so as not to miss the summer solar-altitude maximum. Captured in Edinburgh between the 2024 winter solstice and 2025 summer solstice.
