Living where we do heading to Stonehenge for Solstice sunrise is not really a viable option so instead we head to the sunrise coast in Suffolk. Southwold is our place of choice, as the sun rises over the pier Southwold residents and others from the surrounding area come out to view, swim in or toast the Solstice morning. Every Solstice day is different, the people, the conditions, and the sunrise itself. If its a weekend Solstice I take my children to see it, even my mother came with us until her 90th year, over time we have seen people coming out from parties, taking a swim, or enjoying the sunrise with a glass of bubbly and a barbeque, and as well as people there is the Southwold wildlife (bunnies galore) on the verges and cliff, and muted seagulls wondering why so many people are around. It is a special time for me and my family and my images of those mornings are special to me.
