Winter Solstice

Yesterday was the Winter Solstice (or shortest day of the year) and as usual a bunch of pagans, hippies and druids gathered at Stonehenge to celebrate the occasion. It is also thought by some to mark the start of the midwinter Yule festival – another relic from pagan times.

While not a pagan this is my favourite astronomically marked day of the year, as from today on the days start to lengthen and the idea dawns that Spring is just around the corner.

Enjoy the photos to be found at the link.
