Sunrise in Bursa

From the photographer: “Over the course of a year, I periodically took photographs of the sunrise in Bursa from the balcony of my house, looking at the eastern horizon. These images clearly reveal the movements and changes in the position of the sun on the eastern horizon. Each sunrise photograph provides an opportunity to observe the differences in the angle of sunrise as the seasons change. On 22 September and 20 March, the sun rises exactly 90 degrees east. However, on 20 June (summer solstice), the rising point shifts northeast to 60.4 degrees, and on 21 December (winter solstice) it shifts southeast to 130.7 degrees. These movements produce a different angle of elevation each month as a result of the sun’s position, which is shaped by seasonal changes.”
