Winter Solstice Sun and Shadow Paths—Macro version

This video illustrates the sun's path (and the shadows it casts) on the winter solstice—the day with the longest shadows of the year—for a site at 32˚ N latitude. The perspective is from the sky. See the micro version of this video for a perspective from ground level.
 
This video also illustrates the location of the sun in the sky (as we would perceive it from the Earth's surface at this latitude) throughout the day on the winter solstice. This awareness will help you place and design various elements on your site, so you maintain, rather than reduce or eliminate, your ideal winter solar access and potential where you need it (equator-facing windows, solar panels, solar hot water heaters, solar ovens, winter gardens, etc).
