Summer Solstice sunrise

We arrived in Purbeck just shy of 04.30, parking at the gate to Encombe we began the short walk up and around the edge of the Encombe bowl to the coastal high point of Swyre Head and its' crowning tumulus. From the summit of the tumulus we surveyed a landscape bathed in pre-dawn stillness and that eerie light, as in the east the warm hues of dawn began slowly flooding the horizon. A growing intensity of colour heralded the solstice sun, shortly a bright orange disc emerged above the horizon and the longest day of the year had begun. Blessings at Solstice time. /|\
