'A picture is worth more than a thousand words'. http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/post/33226
It's here, it's your's, I've altered it. I've used images of a full solar disk to illustrate what happens with a partial lunar disk. I'm an artist - I have a license. I'm surprised I'm the first to recognise the 'lozenge' shape made between the two big stones.
As the sun gets very near to this azimuth around the solstice sunrises it should be possible to find one sunny morning out of the half dozen or so available to catch an image of this primary 'alignment' (and to welcome the sun into the circle).
I've put a note on my desk calendar to delete this image on Wednesday. The pictures of the sun were taken from an excellent website all about this stuff.
