One interesting aspect of the solstices is that on that day the time of sunset doesn't immediately start get later and the time of sunrise get earlier. Usually one or the other continues in the same direction as it was moving for some days, only by an amount outweighed by the other one.

For instance, here is sunrise and sunset in Vancouver for the next week. (See timeanddate.com for a better formatted table.)

As you can see the days are getting longer even though both sunrise and sunset are getting later; it's just that the later sunset is adding more time each day than we lose to the later sunrise.
