Stonehenge - Summer Solstice 2005 :: Pictures 1 Before dawn

Tash [alan lodge] | 25.06.2005 10:39 | Culture | Repression | Social Struggles

A jaunt out to another 'Managed Access' to celebrate the Summer Solstice at Stonehenge, at the permission [and conditions] of English Heritage. I had a nice time, met old friends and some wierd and wonderful people, doing wierd and wonderful things. BUT .... it is not as I would have it. I still sadly miss the festival that was / should be there.
