Summer Solstice 2006



Today, June 21st is Summer Solstice and is the longest day of the year. It is the time of the year when one side of the earth is most tilted relevant to the the sun and so we have the most daylight and the least nighttime. It is also the official date of the beginning of Summer.

Do you know that Summer solstice is the time when the rising sun is in perfect alignment with the Stonehenge? This phenomenon is one of the few clues in the mysteries surrounding Stonehenge, and to experience this is one of my pending Top 50 To-Do-List in my lifetime.

The pictures on the left and right were taken at Toronto time 5:00AM and 9:30PM, respectively.
