Where the Sun Sets Every Month

Photographer: John Paul Pile
Country: Philippines

Taken with a smartphone from San Rafael, Bulacan, Philippines, this series of images won third place in the category of Still images of sunrise and sunset location over the year. They capture the changing position of sunset over the year owing to Earth’s axial tilt and orbit around the Sun. From January to December 2022, each image reflects the changing backdrop and position of the Sun at dusk. Observe the changing foliage and the appearance of an electricity pole in October. This collection serves as a visual testament to the celestial dance between Earth and the Sun, and the natural transformations on the ground.
