Cape Breton Living Photo of the Week: L'Ardoise Winter SolsticeL’Ardoise, Cape Breton Island

Winter solstice. Yesterday, Thursday December 21st was the shortest day and longest night of the year here in Earth’s northern hemisphere. Did you know the word “solstice” comes from the Latin sol for sun and sistere for standing still? So here we are, starting today (Friday, December 22nd) the sun will be up for a few seconds longer each day.
