Cayuga Lake Pier Golden Hour Reflection In Winter Solstice Royalty-Free Stock Photo

Golden sunset after the winter Solstice on Cayuga Lake. Upon the winter solstice, the Sun appears at its lowest in the sky, and its noontime elevation seems to stay the same for several days before and after this day. The Suns gradual decrease in the sky reverses upon the winter solstice, marking what many cultures believe to be a rebirth of the Sun as the hours of daylight become longer. The colors of the sunset result from a phenomenon called scattering. NYS FingerLakes Cayuga Lake at Golden Hour.
