I used to regularly go to Stonehenge, both winter and summer.\u00a0 To celebrate with others the cosmic events of the solstice.\u00a0 But, in recent years, English Heritage, and other agencies, have created ‘managed access events’ that\u00a0I don’t feel\u00a0I have anything in common with. They are not the gatherings they were.<\/p>\n

Solstice happens everywhere, and I can still observe it,\u00a0 in\u00a0my own quiet ways …… wherever I am.<\/p>\n

If the science of what is going on is important to you,\u00a0 one of the best sites I’ve found in explaination is here:\u00a0<\/p>\n

http:\/\/www.archaeoastronomy.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Useful also for the precise timings of this and other cosmic events.<\/p>\n
