Picture Report from the Stonehenge Summer Solstice 2010
So it seemed pertinent to kick-start this picture communication with the statue - appropriately dubbed 'The Antecedent' - reaching out for the rising sun and - this might barely be my imagination - to the crowd. The modern-day primogenitor is welcoming all, regardless of their reason for get-together at Stonehenge for the solstice - from celebrating their beliefs to the advantage of gathering, or a miscellany of both - as was probably the case in ancient times.
My portrait report of the Summer Solstice does not start at Stonehenge (spoiler vivacious: nor will it end), but at the car park, where this 'gatherer' started her trip. This pink lady was standing on top of a caravan doing a enticing dance with her white scarf, and making all of us slow and stare. I have not the slightest clue why she'd do this (yikes, heights!) but I expect it must have been important to her, part of her Solstice celebration.
