Happy Solstice - Sundays in My City

I love the solstice. I love what it represents and even though isn't not as dark here as it was in the Netherlands I'm still happy to celebrate the return of light.  There was a solstice celebration at the Conservatory at Druid Hill Park in Baltimore.

Inside the conservatory was a grand poinsettia display.

 



Outside were fires and music and a Winter Solstice Bonfire Resolution

 



Happy solstice!!

  5. (hm did my comment disappear?) In summation. I love the bonfire message and Australia doesn't seem to take any notice of the solstice at all (for example summer starts on December 1, Spring on September 1, and Winter on June 1...and Autumn on March 1).
