Today is the Summer Solstice - the longest day of the year, the day the Earth's and the moon's axial tilt is most inclined towards the sun, and the day a select group of people (druids/pagans/whatever they wish to be called) gather to watch the sunrise at Stonehenge.
Here's some photos of this year's celebration, but truthfully, I really couldn't care less about the Solstice or Stonehenge, I just needed an excuse to tell you about this place that is much much cooler...

Behold Carhenge! A Stonehenge "replica" in Alliance, Nebraska built using 38 vintage American cars painted grey and errected in exactly the same positions as Stonehenge's stones. Oh and unlike Stonehenge, its absolutely free to visit.
Totally Awesome.
I remember the Mutoid Waste Co. building a Car Henge at Glastonbury Festival in '87. It wasn't full size like the version that Jim Reiner built in Nebraska though.
