Glastonbury Tor

Spring equinox always brings out a crowd at the top of Glastonbury Tor.  This was first visit to the equinox gathering since the pandemic.  It started with a stunning worm moon.

It was only 2 days since the moon was full.  Today it sat in the west, directly opposite where the sun would soon rise.
