midsummer leap

We nipped up to the stones
to be there for the solstice.
I was reliably informed that it would be at 18:05 today.
There were two older ladies, having a picnic and playing the fiddle,
and some elderly American tourists.
Quite a party it was
and Aiden did one of his giant leaps.
The stones were probably put there to observe the moon not the sun
but we don't know exactly.

Nikon D50

So appropriate the leap into summer! Fantastic idea and it works so well with the standing stone and the dramatic clouds. Happy summer solstice!
