Stonehenge Summer
Solstice

2003
| The
Solstice - literally meaning 'a stopping or standing still of the sun'
- occurs twice a year.
The Summer Solstice is the high point of the solar year, when the forces and energies of nature are at their peak. Stonehenge is a perfect marker for both Solstices - the midwinter sunset can be seen between the uprights, the largest trilithon, and sunrise dawns over the magnificent Heel Stone in Summer. |
