Summer solstice

First day of summer here- in the middle of a heatwave here- but nothing a Kolkata girl can't handle.
Tried looking out for the moon on the 18th- was told it would be a really impressive moonrise- the kids and the location was wrong, so no magnificent moonrise for me. However, check out this link for a wonderful view

A bit of trivia- this structure has some interesting graffiti- Lord Byron has carved his name on one of the columns.
