Summer Solstice 2007 at Stonehenge, England. The druids were scantily clad so I doubt our subject was left by a druid. The drummers must connect with their instruments so I doubt it was one of them who discarded our glove. Those dancing around the Stones would be too warm to require gloves. I can only assume it was one of the other sunrise spectators who left behind this glove. Drugs, sleep deprivation and pagan fervour could all be contributing factors. Any number of the stoned, nitrous inhaling trippers, hippies, drunks or crazies could have left it behind and yet it appears too 'normal' to belong to any of the above. I believe this glove was, in fact left behind by one of the 'normals'. Yes, one of the average joes who thinks spectating such an event is a worthwhile way to spend a mid-week evening. No work the next day so they are either local or unemployed - a student perhaps, on their way to Glastonbury and yet searching for even more festival atmosphere to inhale..
All speculation of course. Perhaps you know the truth?

Oooo whats all this about then huh?
Speaking of L&F gloves I've found several floating around the house recently, trying to find their mates ...
It's a little side-project documenting the plight of lost gloves. Initially focused on London's homeless glove population the study has grown to encompass a global problem.
Feel free to submit your own discoveries. They must be single gloves and they must not be disturbed in any way before photographing. :)
