So, technically, summer solstice is tomorrow, June 21 at around 7am. Tomorrow’s sunset is really recognized as the main event at Parowan Gap. I went out there tonight, June 20th to scope things out. Crowds have already gathered. Here is a quick shot I got standing near the summer solstice cairn at Parowan Gap.
I will be out there again tomorrow. I did a time lapse series tonight, but I realized I needed to be in a different spot to get the right angle.

Update: I added a short time lapse of the sun setting through the gap. This time lapse was taken on June 20, 2010. I didn’t make this one HD, so it doesn’t look real great. I plan on posting another one from tonight that is going to be in full HD.
