Happy Xmas all

Winter Solstice

The earliest people on Earth knew that the sun’s path across the sky, the length of daylight, and the location of the sunrise and sunset all shifted in a regular way throughout the year. They built monuments such as Newgrange in Ireland, Stonehenge in England – or, for example, at Machu Picchu in Peru – to follow the sun’s yearly progress.

Great shot Great place

Dawn mist in the Boyne Valley at Newgrange.

On the valley terraces leading to the River Boyne below Newgrange are three large mounds ranging from 27m to 40m in diameter. All three are probable passage tombs, likely dating to the same period as Newgrange itself. Another large mound, surrounded by a free-standing kerb, is in a field further east along the same ridge as the large passage tomb.

This particular one, together with the enormous earthwork bank in which the mound sits, is known as ‘Site A‘ after a naming scheme for the Boyne Valley monuments devised by George Coffey in the late 19th/early 20th century. Today it is also enclosed by a modern square-shaped hedge. It has not been excavated.

The huge embanked enclosure was mostly ploughed away by the time it was recorded on the 1837 Ordnance Survey map, but is clearly visible from above when the sun is low or during exceptionally dry weather when the field is parched.

Donegal

Jimmy Páidí Og on the top of Earagail, Donegal’s highest peak (751-metres) near Gweedore. This photo first appeared in 'The Irish Press' in 1957. The journalist who took the picture climbed up the back of Earagail in the Derryveagh mountain range and much to his surprise found Jimmy smoking his pipe with his sheepdog by his side, at the summit. He asked him how long he'd been up there, as he had seen no-one in front of him on the ascent. Jimmy replied; ‘that's because you walked up the back, and I walked up the front.’ Jimmy, who lived in Mín na nGall, was a butcher and delivered meat on his bicycle. Born in 1890, he was 67 when this picture was taken. ©WhyDonegal

Nice colour

Looking forward to another year of exploring Ireland. Exploring hidden beaches, majestic sea cliffs or just serenity in hidden cottages like this one in the picture. You can find them all over Ireland. We found this one close to Mount Brandon at the Di**le Peninsula. County Kerry, Ireland 🇮🇪 ….📸
