Summer Solstice

It had arrived. The sun had risen. 4.30 in the morning and the the sun could be seen. It was strong and the air felt lighter sitting on the concrete step in the back garden. I was not alone as the the birds were chirping away madly. Had they known it was a special day?

With a cup of coffee I greeted this special sunrise with candle lit beside me. Sunrise on the Solstice is one of those magical moments that I was priviledged to experience.

Mind you it was a pity that I had forgotten my phone to record the occassion or perhaps I was meant to totally forget that modern handcuff and just be.
