Stonehenge Celebration

With the Summer Solstice happening on the other side of the planet in a few days, I thought I would use some online photograph databases (see flickr etc) to find some vintage photographs of the historic site of the Solstice. Many years ago I happened to experience a Summer Solstice at the other henge in Avebury, Wiltshire, where there was much woodstock style dancing by the open minded and druids amongst the stones. It was actually a lot of fun.

I would very much recommend a visit to Avebury next time you are in the UK. The advantages over Stonehenge being that you are able to walk amongst the stones and the small adjoining village right next to it has a pub.
