"Avebury Winter Solstice" by By Angie Livingstone, The Glittering Fox

Introduction

This is my eighty-fourth piece inspired by Angie Livingstone's magnificent artwork for the 2025 Winter Solstice, the shortest day and the longest night of the year in the northern hemisphere.

This is An Ekphrastic Winter Solstice Terzanelle

Our book, "The Art Of The Glittering Fox", is now available on Amazon throughout the world.

Here is The Glittering Fox's Facebook Page

The music is Jethro Tull's "Ring Out, Solstice Bells" for you to listen to as you read.

Today, December 21st 2025, is the day of the Winter Solstice, the shortest day and the longest night, and we can celebrate the coming of longer, lighter days.
