AP: Winter Solstice at Stonehenge:

Arch-Druid Arthur Pendragon watches the sun rise at the ancient stone monument of Stonehenge, Wiltshire, in southern England. Today is the longest night of the year. Winter begins at 1:35 p.m. (Solstice is Latin for "sun standing still" as the the sun reaches its southernmost position in the southern sky.)
