This is a photo sequence I took over three dates: the Summer Solstice, the Autumnal Equinox, and the Winter Solstice. They show the relative seasonal motion of the sun along the horizon at sunset.

These photos were taken at the Sierra College Nevada County Campus in Grass Valley, CA. During the solstices, classes were not in session due to holiday breaks. They were in session during the Autumnal Equinox, however, as can be seen by the cars in the parking lot.
