  Makes one wonder just WHAT was being worshipped in that ancient day. A very thought provoking and lovely view of ancient Ireland.

  Mitch, this is my favorite image. Maybe it tis to my Irish heritage, or do to the trip I took to Ireland when I was young. I just love the countryside there. I know Stuart is British, but my favorite part of the UK that I saw was Wales. It is actually his favorite part too.

  Thank you very much, Amanda. My husband's Scottish, and we went there many years ago but just barely touched on Wales.

  This is such a wonderful capture, with everything working together.
I can see it on a book cover of a mystery novel in Ireland.
Good luck.
