Some Late Solstice Sunshine 22nd December

I made this animation late this sunday afternoon, and it typifies to me my luck with solar imaging at winter time:  a low sun, behind the trees and passing clouds making the view hazy.  Still, it is significant image taken a day after the winter solstice, the nights are now getting shorter again, the days longer, and with each passing day the sun gets ever so slightly higher in the sky.  Here's hoping 2014 is a great year for solar astronomy!
