Summer Solstice
Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 10:31AM Thousands of people in Poland float paper lanterns into the night sky to celebrate the summer solstice. Best viewed full screen. [NOTE: "Solstice" is derived from a combination of Latin words meaning sun (sol) and to stand still (stice). As the days lengthen, the sun rises higher and higher in the sky until it seems to stand still].
