January 15, 2016: Stonehenge Summer Solstice

IMG_2212

The sign of times soon to come! This was my first summer solstice sunrise at Stonehenge in England and I love the picture because it heralds the warm sunny days that are yet to come (please!) after the dark days of winter. The solstice sun-rises are the only occasions these days when the public are allowed to be within touching distance of the old stones that comprise ‘the Henge’.

There’s definitely something special about seeing those ancient rocks so carefullly arranged.  And to be there with a crowd of party-goers must have been a blast, Mac!  Another great photo, thanks!
