Winter Soltice

This week for MLH quickwrites it was based on the winter solstice. One of them was a my map. We had to mark a pin on Stonehenge, Newgrange and Maeshowe. All of themm are prehistoric monuments that were built thousands of years ago.

Stonehenge is part of the Winter Solstice because when the shortest day of the year comes (which is called the winter solstice) it shines right in the middle of Stonehenge. Newgrange is famous for when the Winter Solstice comes the sun shines right down on the doorway. Maeshowe is famous for its amazing sun rise because it rise's right over the passage grave.
