Solar Trails Solar Trails over Lakeside. This photo is a 4+ month exposure of the sun rising and setting over Lakeside, Cape Town. It was done using a pinhole camera mounted on my roof, looking north. The bottom line is the sun's path on 23 June this year during the winter solstice, and the top lines are the ever increasing angle of the sun during summer. If you see blotches in the streaks, that means it was cloudy that day. Photographer: Gareth Evans
