Am I missing something with this picture?
The Summer and Winter Solstice positions seem mislabeled, and/or I could be an idiot (not mutually exclusive).
In the picture we are facing West at the sunset. To the right would be North, and to the left - South. The description of the APOD for sunset positions says the sun sets further south during the winter solstice, but the leftmost (southern) sun is labeled summer solstice in the picture.
