Solstice is named Solstice in honour of the summer solstice celebrated at Stonehenge in Wiltshire UK.
Wiltshire is a county in which a lot of UK crop circles appear, especially in the areas around ancient monuments like Stonehenge.
Every year thousands colourful pagans travel to the henge from all over the world, hence the rainbow colours.
Incidentally I’m not one of them, but I love the idea that they are so passionate that they are prepared to travel so far to see a sunrise.
