Too late for the summer/winter solstice? I would say so! The next equinox is only about six weeks away.

My apologies, Eric! I suppose I should have made the topic title ‘Solstice 2023’ (but even that would probably have resulted in some bright spark pointing out that not everyone uses the Gregorian calendar).

Thanks for posting those pictures, Karen. Your CA2 page is delightful, as always, and Anne Sudworth’s paintings are amazing!

The images of Stonehenge brought this to mind. Anne Sudworth is an artist who paints many of the megalithic sites. I follow her on Facebook and it's hard to believe that these are paintings and not photos.

And to you, Alfred.

I found an interesting article about the Solstice here - https://www.sciencefocus.com/planet-ear … tice-2023/

The precise moment of the Summer Solstice will be at 15.58 BST, just under two hours away.
