Summer Solstice Today is the summer solstice - midsummer - the longest day of the year, and my inner Celt does a little celebratory dance and salutes the sun. Here in Scotland, it's still daylight well into the late evening, and not truly dark till after eleven o'clock. I love the light evenings. But it's also a kind of bittersweet day today because from now on the days get shorter again - it's a turning point in the year... And ironically, today of all days, it's not sunny - infact it's raining.

you're welcome! :-) Here is a link to another ancient stone monument, this one is in the Western Isles of Scotland ( off the north west coast), which aligns with the midsummer moon. http://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/lewis/calanais/

That's a very interesting temple....and a beautiful picture of it in all its fiery glory! In Britain we have many ancient stone monuments which align with the sun and the moon. Here is a link to images of Stonehenge which is perhaps the best known of these sites http://www.stonehenge.org.uk/

That day was the first day of summer here :) actually near my city there is a fire temple ,the antiquity of it is about 2500 years ago! well, in the first day of the summer you can see the sun through the pillar of the temple,i think many people have celebrated this day during long time ago but nowaday just ones who like astronomy or something like that go there and see the sun! it needs to be calculated for seeing the sun through the pillars here you can see a picture of it,this picture has been taken afew days ago : http://www.uko.ir/uko_website/fa/images/uploads/Image/chartaghy%2091-4-1.jpg
