A woman reflects as she touches part of the Stonehenge monument, England, celebrating the summer solstice shortly after 04:52 am, early Monday, June 21, 2010. Druids, pagans and partygoers crammed into the mystic stone circle to cheer, bang drums and shake tambourines in an effort to greet the sun on the longest day of the year in the northern hemisphere, the summer solstice. Stonehenge, on the Salisbury Plain about 140 kilometers (90 miles) southwest of London, was built over three phases between 3000 B.C. and 1600 B.C. It is one of Britain’s most popular tourist attractions; more than 750,000 people visit every year.
