Several customs are connected with the Midwinter Solstice. You could celebrate sunset before the long night or you could celebrate sunrise after the long night. Probably you will not do both in the same year. Photojournalist Greg Martin went to Penzance to take very good photos. We can see lots of fun and pleasure, with music, dancing and fire. The people wear mock finery and fantasy masks. There are hobby horses. Stonehenge is more solemn. Here are pagans and druids welcoming the sun. The stones are aligned for this one sunrise.
