Vernal Equinox Dawn 2009 at Stonehenge
by Simon at 09:48 20/03/09 (Blogs::Simon)
Magical.
Thou appearest beautifully on the horizon of heaven,
Thou living Aten, the beginning of life!
When thou art risen on the eastern horizon,
Thou hast filled every land with thy beauty.
Thou art gracious, great, glistening, and high over every land;
Thy rays encompass the lands to the limit of all that thou hast made:
As thou art Re, thou reachest to the end of them;
Thou subduest them for thy beloved son.
Though thou art far away, thy rays are on earth;
Though thou art in their faces, no one knows thy going.

This is the barrow on King Barrow Ridge that the Sun rises over at the Equinox, as seen from the centre of Stonehenge. (Photo taken in Auguest 2006 from a tethered balloon flight)
