Travelogue I : some stone age exposure

 I started out the little visit to UK & Ireland with an examination of some stone age ruins.

Newgrange seen from the bus stop

Carvings on the stones

 

Then we, my bride and I, saw a 'folly' made from the same stones:

the folly

 

carved stone at the sun beam entry

carvings over the 'lintel' of the sun shaft

The quartz stones were on the south facing side
of the stone age site

So we had our first exposure to the quartz stones that seemed to populate so much of the territory, and the tiny sparkles that came out when the sun was shining.

one final little look at the Newgrange wall

Our next day was to include more little water shrines, places and people that my bride was focused on.
