Brooklyn is sometimes known as the "Borough of Churches". Here are the red doors of my own church, Good Shepherd Lutheran Church of Bay Ridge, located on Fourth Avenue and Bay Ridge Parkway.
I don't know about you, but I get excited about solstices. Today, the sun rose at 7:16 a.m. and will set at 4:31 p.m. This is the shortest day and longest night of the year. After today, there will be a little bit more daylight each day.
