Celebration of summer, winter

The solstice is passed, and depending on where you live, it's either the start of summer, the start of winter, or you're near the equator and it's pretty much just another day. But that last one is a little hard to provide images for, so....

Also, the Summer section probably has a bit of a British focus, because it's harder to come up with random weird and interesting things for places you haven't been. My apologies. I think a broad topic like "Summer" is honestly harder to be diverse with than a more narrow topic (at least if it's one person writing it).

Summer

As theancient song goes:

Sumer is icumen in
Lhude sing cuccu!
  • "Skegness is SO Bracing", or "The Jolly Fisherman" is a poster by John Hassall in 1908 that proved to be one of the most famous holiday advertisements to ever exist. I really should restore this one sometime.

  • Stonehenge is connected to the Solstice because the Sun rises over the Heel Stone every Summer solstice. From 1972 to 1984, though, the celebrations were a lot wilder, with the Stonehenge Free Festival.

  • A garden party makes a lovely summer event. In Montreal, Canada, you might be visited by the ghosts of Napoleonic soldiers?

  • Of course, not everything is great in Summer. Accidents happen in Summer just like any other time. Some, such as this view of Thornville, Ohio, are aesthetically gorgeous.

Winter

As the 1916 poem byEzra Pound goes:

Winter is icumen in,
Lhude sing Goddamm,
Raineth drop and staineth slop,
And how the wind doth ramm!
Sing: Goddamm.
Skiddeth bus and sloppeth us,
An ague hath my ham.
Freezeth river, turneth liver,
Damm you; Sing: Goddamm.
