My Tiny Planets #32: Newgrange, Ireland
It's about time!! While I already posted two tiny planets of my walk to Newgrange (#11 & #29), I haven't shown you the actual monument yet. So here we go! And as a bonus, I am in this shot too ;)
I told you earlier that this prehistoric monumental tomb is older than the pyramids and Stonehenge (it's over 5000 years old), which is hard to believe when you stand in front of it. The quartz & granite cobblestones in the outer wall are so well lined up, it almost looks like a modern building. Fair to say that it hasn't always looked this way and massive restoration has been going on to make it look like this.
When you stand inside, it is clear that this is very old. It made me sad to see so much carved graffiti inside, but that is from the time before they turned it into a protected monument. Now, nobody can enter the tomb without a guide and you are not allowed to take photographs inside. It seems to be working because I wasn't able to find recent carvings.
Lovely picture . view is so amazing like you're a different universe completely
Yeah right? It is a very tiny planet, close to our earth. But too tiny to be seen by NASA. Don't tell anyone ;)
it seems amazing! :D
It's pretty impressive. But the whole surrounding area adds to it ;)
yeah, you should try it in a crowded place! :)
this tomb would be really weird if it were located in downtown manhattan ;)
hahah exactly! but would be so much fun :D
it's really amazing dear
Aw, that is sweet. Thank you!
that's a sweet photo!
thank you!
I still like this composition because it's different every time! Really nice view!
I try my best to make it different every time ;) Pretty easy with a different target, though.
Thank you for sticking with me!!
