Ring out Solstice Bells sung by Jethro Tull (recorded in 1976…) celebrates the solstice. Personally I wouldn’t bother watching the video which I find distracting as it’s somewhat dated, but I enjoy listening to the bells! The carol of the bells would be equally appropriate but I wanted something with no religious connotations. It really is the shortest/longest day today this year. (I know I have quite a few Australian friends/readers.)

The picture, of winter sun, is by roxicons and is a depiction of the solstice setting sun, seen through winter trees.

Happy Solstice Everyone!
