Dear Bob at domain name, I thought of you when I saw a headline about gatherings at Stonehenge for the Solstice, wondered if you were going to shoot it. I look forward to your interpretation. Sort of disappointed you didn't join in the Antler Dance, but I understand. Objectivity, and all that, right? Some of the images are stronger than others here, but there are none I dislike. Of particular note are numbers 7, 8, 15 and 27.
