Summer Solstice on the Coast

Summer solstice 2015, unsure of where to go, some of my friends were going to Stonehenge, some were attending a more local public ritual during the day, I knew I wanted to see the sun rise though, but I didnt want to have to travel to the other end of the country to do this.
I decided to go to the Point of Ayr, in North Wales. 30 minutes drive from me. It was either there, or a hilltop, to get the view to the north-east.
I checked that the high tide was approx 2.30am on that beach, and I arrived an hour later.
Miles and miles of empty beach, nobody else at all present, nobody in robes to do ritual, no crowds, no party, just me, the land, sea and sky.
The tide was receding, the beach washed clean and the sand rippled and wet from the waves. The first rays of light in the sky reflected off the puddled beach, as I walked to the waters edge, the grey sky tinged with pink, the beach itself was like walking out onto a silvered mirror.

As above, so below....
This area, underneath the Dee estuary is under threat from Underground Coal Gasification (UCG) - a company called Cluff Natural Resources, a mis-nomer if ever there was one, has obtained a license to set fire to the coal seams beneath the estuary, to release the gas held within it.
Does this landscape look like it needs burning?

A local group has been set up to oppose this industry, I will help them do all they can to preserve the sanctity of this special place.
