It was nerve- racking. The photographer and myself had driven eight hours to get to the mysterious Stonehenge. It was in the middle of the night and we were in pitch black darkness. Would the druids of Britain really show up to celebrate their summer solstice? Was this actually a thing? Reader, it was. There were cloaks, crystals, Gandalf- like staffs, and even a cow horn filled with mead. The article is about how Stonehenge has been a controversial monument throughout British history. Is it a druid temple, political symbol or a tourist attraction? Stonehenge is still an enigma, but it was rather magical to stand inside it as the sun went up.
