The first photo (AISolstice1)
shows the scene just before the Sun rose.
You can see the first stone
(which doubles as a sun dial and I was able to show the
crowd how to tell the time to the nearest few minutes using
it!) is in the foreground. The second stone is in the
distance. It's much bigger but at this distance (150 metres)
it just looks like a small 'shark's tooth' just to the left
of the top of the nearer stone.
In the 2nd, 3rd and 4th photos
you can see the Sun rising along the left edge of the
distant stone. It's aligned so it looks like the Sun 'rolls'
up the distant stone.
I used flash in some of the
photos to try to light up the nearer stone.
It is difficult to get the
lighting right with the brilliant disk of the Sun in the
same frame as objects in the foreground but I am fairly
pleased with the results.
