Sunrise | Solstice

On top of the hills on the right of the picture are the Carrowkeel Neolithic tombs. Older than the pyramids, some of the passage graves illuminate at the summer solstice, unlike Newgrange which is aligned to the winter solstice. I love the fact that 5000+ years ago our ancestors were so attuned to the turning of the cycle of the year. Looking forward to the grand stretch in the evenings now…

Nua-#CelticSoulJourney at #Rathcroghan: In #Ireland the most mythologically significant cave was #Oweynagat. Within it, the great cauldron of abundance, once kept at Tara but later returned hither, was stored.

Nua-#CelticSoulJourney:#Carrowkeel is one of the most impressive ancient landscapes in #Ireland. It is set on high ground above Lough Arrow, and the tombs seem to be oriented towards the area of Cuil Irra, Knocknarea and Carrowmore.
