Today is December 21st, the Winter Solstice, the shortest day of the year. Traditionally, this is the day that modern day Druids gather at Stonehenge, in England, to perform their rituals and celebrate the coming of longer and warmer days. Of course, this year, thanks to the coronavirus, these ceremonies have been canceled. Even here in Denver, all of the Druid bars in Lower Downtown (LoDo) and the River North Neighborhood (RiNo) are closed due to coronavirus restrictions, and so one of the only ways to celebrate is to take a brisk walk, perhaps in Washington Park, where I took the above photograph of the historic boathouse after a light snowstorm. I have to wonder, however, if some of the local Druids might be performing their rituals in the park today, maybe even making a human sacrifice or two. Perhaps I should head over there and find out. After all, I am always on the lookout for good photo opportunities, as you are probably aware.
