Re: English Heritage publish Stonehenge Summer Solstice details for 2005 by Anonymous on Saturday, 04 June 2005

The effects of the Winter solstice is less dramatic, due to the fallen Great Trilithon, whereas the Summer version has a specific point-of-view [sun over heelstone].

At WS the sun would send a beam of light over the outer ring, pierce the gap between stones 55-56 and and then beneath the outer ring again to squarely strike the heelstone [and removed partner] with the only light in an area of blackness - a much more dramatic effect, though sadly never to be seen again.

Something is not right. This message is just to keep things from messing up down the road
