WALKS   WORDS   UPCOMING
British Summer Time, Season 5
31 October - 7  November 2021

The 5th season of sunrise walks to mark the time change. I walked from fifteen minutes before sunrise to fifteen minutes after with people in Ireland, Germany and the United Kingdom. This year’s walks marked the moment when Europe has switched their clocks, but the United States had not: in Europe, the walks followed the time change; in the States they led up to it.

Instagram post by @Jackieb_9 showing the tips of rooftops with a power line reaching into the sky and a blue sky with orange and yellow at the bottom. The text reads: Oíche Shamhna inniú - Halloween today. An old Irish festival marking the start of winter. I am marking it by walking #SunriseWalks with @blakewalks. Traditionally turnips - like these two ghoulish creatures - were carved and lit. Today, a sign of the times, sweets are left for children on windowledges and door steps. Slowly, as I wander, street lights switch off and a sliver of dawn appears in the sky. Instagram post by @blakewalks with the New York City Skyline visible across the East river, with the ferry in the middle. The sky is cloudy with patches of light visible. The text reads: blakewalks British Summer Time - Season 5 Walk 1 Walking with @diliamusica to start bridging the gap between the British time change and the American time change. Wonderful to wake up to the sunrise of @thetravelingtype_ #BritishSummerTime #SunriseWalks
