why is the voltage distribution a quarter wavelength out of phase with current in a half wavelength dipole antenna?

why is the voltage distribution a quarter wavelength out of phase with current in a half wavelength dipole antenna?

It makes sense that in a graph over time, the voltage at the ends of the antenna is a quarter wavelength behind the current measured at the feed. But voltage distribution is over x; isn't the voltage in phase with current over distance?
