Solstice at Stonehenge
By K. Kris Hirst, About.com Guide
A man jumps in the air from the top of one of the stones to celebrate the midsummer sun as it rises over the megalithic monument of Stonehenge on June 21, 2005 on Salisbury Plain, England. Crowds gathered at the ancient stone circle to celebrate the Summer Solstice: the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere.
