Subject: Summer Solstice 2009 Stonehenge

" record number of people descended on Stonehenge to mark this year's summer solstice.
Estimates suggest 36,500 pagans, musicians, Morris dancers and others travelled to the ancient stone circle on Salisbury Plain, Wiltshire.
Organisers attribute the record turnout to the good weather and the fact the solstice fell on a weekend.
A cheer went up from bleary-eyed revellers wrapped in blankets, ponchos, cloaks and bin liners as the sun rose at 4.58am.
Musician Nick Wells, 50, from Surrey, said: "I've been playing the Gadulka, a 13-string Bulgarian fiddle in the circle, its been magical," he said.
"Everyone has been very peaceful and I am surprised I have not seen any trouble at all. It is nice that people can get so close to the stones but to me it is almost sacrilegious to touch them."
English Heritage and Wiltshire police had been expecting the biggest ever crowds and extra officers were drafted in to patrol the site.
But the event was a peaceful one with just 25 arrests for minor public disorder and drugs. " ( MSN News) I'll postsome pics as soon as somebody posts some !

Actually wish I could of been there, blessings everybody ! The exact moment of Solstice occured this morning, June 21st at 11:48 am.

Regards
