The setting sun is in near perfect alignment with the Marsh arch bridge at the west edge of Humboldt Tuesday evening.

The autumnal equinox, otherwise known as the first day of fall, was Tuesday.

Allen County experienced 12 hours and 9 minutes of daylight, just about perfect.

As winter nears, the days get shorter and shorter. 

The next such day of perfect alignment with the sun and bridge will be in March, on the first day of spring.
