Glastonbury Tower
pre-dawn |
|
| The Druids arrive ready for the solstice ritual |
|
Waiting
for the solstice sunrise
on Glastonbury Tor |
|
It's
a foggy winter solstice on the Tor this year
|
|
| The Glastonbury
tower is dated around the 14th Century, and the cave beneath
the Tor was believed to be used by hermits since the 7th Century |
|
| The Glastonbury Tor can be seen from miles around, and there
is usually a magnificent view - not this morning! |
|
Where is the sun on this winter solstice morning? |
|
Solstice meditation
at the Tor |
|
|
Everyone
looks to the east for the solstice dawn
|
|
It's
getting brighter, but the solstice sun can't break through
the fog
|
|
What light through yonder Tor breaks? |
|
We could
be back in time celebrating the solstice like our ancestors |
|
Singing,
dancing and drumming to celebrate the arrival of the winter
solstice - it helps to keep warm too -
it's freezing! |
|
Druids prepare
the solstice ceremony
|
|
The
solstice circle join hands and welcome the sun
|
|
Happy
Winter Solstice 2006

Glastonbury Tor - Winter Solstice 2006
|
|
There's no sunshine but plenty of warm solstice
greetings on top of the Tor this Solstice morn.
