    Today, September 22 2013, is the date of the Southward Equinox. This is the day where the Earth axis is inclined neither away from nor towards the Sun. The term equinox can also be used in a broader sense, meaning the date when such a passage happens. The name "equinox" is derived from the Latin aequus (equal) and nox (night), because around the equinox, night and day are about equal length.

    Kind regards,

    A balancing act on the Tropic of Capricorn. The extra weight of the CFI on the left wrist did not help. :-)

    If only school had presentations and props like this, I would have paid better attention.

    Very creative. Well done.

    Very creative! Both are sensational pieces, but perhaps against the grain, I think the black dial is my favorite.
