Feeling Spirits Of Long Ago

Description


I watched this angelic little girl playing in a circle of stones.
She seemed so connected to the place and had me completely spellbound.

I got her and her parents’ permission to capture the enchantment and I’m hoping that I succeeded.

P.S. I borrowed the title from a line in the song "The Poisen Glen" by Clannad.
More P.S. The stone circle is Drombeg Stone Circle, also known as The Druid's Altar and is located east of Glandore, County Cork, Ireland.
Most P.S. I’ve attached a picture of the whole scene so you can see more of the circle.

Kiki, your title is perfect for this lovely child, totally absorbed in her preparation for...who can say??
I love your closeup version, but am equally enthusiastic about that beautifully framed "Drombeg Stone Circle". Terrific captures!

That's interesting how she knew to go to the center of the stones. I wonder if someone directed her or if she had been there before and seen others go there.

How special to have been there, SSSister. Stonehenge won't allow visitors up close to the stones anymore. I must make this place a stop in life. I want to touch each stone.

Thank you for sharing it with us!!!
