Today is the winter solstice, the shortest day of the year and the first day of winter. And the biggest celebration of this astronomical event takes place at Stonehenge, on Salisbury Plain, in Wiltshire, England. This is the place where modern day Druids gather twice a year on the occasion of the solstice and can be seen heading toward that prehistoric megalithic structure to begin their rituals in the photograph above, as I ponder the meaning of it all after teleporting myself there through the magic of Photoshop. What I pondered most was the fact that the ancient Druids were big into human sacrifices, and I had to wonder if modern day Druids stay faithful to the original Druid practices, especially when the clock strikes midnight. After wondering about that for a while, I decided to teleport myself right back to Denver before finding out from personal experience.
