Summer is here. I saw it coming.
June 21. Summer solstice, the longest day, the maximum of daylight.
After today our days will get shorter again and our nights longer.
I hope the pigeons and crows know that too.
They wake me up early every morning when they sit on our roof.
They`re a real noisy bunch and they start their cooing and croaking before 6 AM!
Last night thousands of new age humans and druids and hippie humans celebrated
the solstice at Stonehenge in England, a 4.000 years old sun temple with big stones.
Every June 21 the sun rises directly over Stonehenge`s `Friar`s Heel stone`
when viewed from the central Altar Stone.
This is the best I could find around our town: the remains of a prehistoric `hunebed`.
It`s even older than Stonehenge. I showed you another hunebed a few months ago
( http://www.pbase.com/image/26629086 ).
But when I climb on this one on June 21 and I follow the lines in the stone that I`m
standing on, I can see the sun right above the biggest top stone to the right. Bingo!
Happy solstice to all of you.
