Approximately 28,000 spectators viewed the Summer Solstice at 4:58 a.m. on June 21st at the spectacular ancient circle site, Stonehenge.

Located in Wiltshire, England, the longest day of the year brought forth party goers and wanna-be druids to view the rising of the sun shine through cloudy skies.  Some reinacted ancient rituals while others came to celebrate through drink.

Stonehenge is one of Britain’s most popular tourist attractions allowing visitors to gaze and wonder about the amazing 3,000 year old megaliths and what their purposes may have been.  Some claim that to be at Stonehenge during a solstice is a purely spiritual experience.  No matter what religion you may aspire to, the allure of Stonehenge is unmistakeable.
