The Summer Solstice is the moment that the tilt of the Earth's axis is most inclined toward the Sun, causing the Sun's apparent position in the sky to reach its northernmost extreme.

This year it occurs at precisely 11.28am UTC on 21 June.

Or 12.28pm British Summer Time. I shall probably spend that moment listening to the Portuguese national anthem.

I've done this a few times here in Shropshire - we have a big hill called The Wrekin and I've walked / climbed to the top of that to watch the solstice sunrise. It was cloudy last year but a few years earlier I got some great snaps that made the front page of the local rag (Shropshire Star).

Not doing in this morning now - too tired ....

I'll be wandering up the Beacon to greet the sun on this Solstice morning.

 

[Lady Bracknell]

....and greet it I did.

What is the matter with these people. This is last year, just the same amount of rubbish this year.
I thought they were supposed to care about the planet, and the Henge.

Returned from Devon yesterday and it took over 2 hours to drive 2 miles past Stonehenge on the A303 due to the nutters going to Stonehenge what for, what is the point.

 

[Lady Bracknell]

I very much doubt that the tide of rubbish at Stonehenge is left by anyone for whom the Solstice has the vaguest meaning. I can't imagine anything worse than being trampled over by a herd of people wielding Tesco bags and pop bottles - and that's just the police. But then that's Stonehenge for you. There are plenty of other places to see the sun come up on midsummer morning. An act that, in itself, that does not qualify you, as a "nutter".

....and greet it I did.

What time was that?

 

[Lady Bracknell]

That'd be at 4.58 am that was!

They're up at Stonehenge on the wrong Solstice anyway. Scientists recently worked out that SH was probably used to celebrate the Winter Solstice, as it was built around the time of the Agricultural revolution and the Winter Solstice celebrates a new Agricultural year. Also as the sun rises on the 21st December the sun rises straight through the two main rocks on Henge.
Silly old hippies.

Would be brilliant to do a photoshoot next Summer Solstice @ Falmer. New dawn etc.
