Opos. Missed #StandingStoneSunday by a mere 24 hours. Apologies. Here’s a little beauty that’s just by the wonderful #Newgrange in #ireland Photo from my visit on a grey and windy day a few years ago. #neolithic

One of the oldest known “windows”

Light opening (center of image) above the entrance to the passage at Newgrange.
For a few days around the winter solstice, a ray of light shines through this opening into the chamber at the end of the passage at sunrise.

Another trip down memory lane for Throwback Thursday. My visit to the 5,200 year old Newgrange passage tomb was 16 years ago today. Weeks too late to see the sunlight actually stream through the entrance but it was still a brilliantly sunny last day in Ireland.

#OfficeofPubliWorks live streamed dawn at #NewGrange amazing to think how old this structure is and how the design still works so many years later. Not sure I can envisage a modern structure lasting so long in this way

Reminding everyone that #Solstice sunrise at #Newgrange passage tomb, Co Meath, livestreams from 8:40 a.m. local time on December 21. So glad this online initiative returned last year after a couple years without due to Covid “back to normal” ideology. https://www.gov.ie/en/office-of-public-works/press-releases/experience-the-winter-solstice-live-from-newgrange-livestream-link-now-available/

Experience the Winter Solstice live from Newgrange

This rare phenomenon, which has captivated visitors for generations, marks the shortest day of the year
