Midsummer Solstice

We have this really old monument in Southern England called Stonehenge. No-one really knows what it is or who built it, but it's pretty ancient. There is speculation that it was a temple, meeting place or giant astrological clock. Whatever it is at the Summer and Winter Solstice lots of druids and hangers on gather at the place and watch the sun rise between the pillars at one end of the monument.




Here is a pic of the sunrise and some people gathered there. It seems to make the news every year here for some reason. Do people celebrate something like this elsewhere?
