Solstice participants wait for the midsummer sun to rise over the megalithic monument of Stonehenge on June 21, 2007 on Salisbury Plain, England. Crowds gathered at the 5,000 year old stone circle to celebrate the Summer Solstice; the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere.

The dawn of 2007's summer solstice was one of those gaudy high-colored exotic mornings that you sometimes get on our lovely planet.
