Summer Solstice
It was the Summer Solstice today, arriving a day earlier than usual, due to the Leap Year. Mist was forecast over the Somerset levels so I headed out to Glastonbury Tor.
There was a large group gathered on top of the Tor, to welcome in the longest day, with drumming, chanting & dancing. A spirited bunch. They threatened to throw me off the Tor as I arrived late (4.30am) and didn't camp out overnight like the rest of the group.
The mist was thin on the ground this morning but all were focused on the sunrise which was both colourful and spread across the sky thanks to some broken cloud cover.
A fun morning and thanks to everyone up there this morning for making it a memorable one.
