Poulnabrone Dolmen, a distinctive portal tomb under a leaden sky in the Burren. It consists of upright stones supporting an enormous flat capstone

Poulnabrone • The Burren

Situated in the heart of the Burren, Poulnabrone is one of Ireland's earliest dated megalithic tombs.

During excavations, the co-mingled remains of at least 36 individuals were recovered from the tomb chamber, largely dating from c.3800–3200 BC.

Afternoon all. No rain so taking the chance to do a bit of path clearing & pond management. It seems Betty has missed me the last few days. 🌱

Can you feel the force? The Glendoo Brook is all growed up and pounding its way through Massy’s Wood this morning! #nature #stormclaudia #saturdaymorning

A childhood favourite place to hike and draw! I once got caught in a snowstorm there and walked to Larragh to get shelter with local family who let me dry out by the fire while I waited for bus back to Rathgar!

Some of the mining heritage of the Wicklow Uplands

At this time of year, just before the last of the leaves fall, I love to spend time in County Wicklow.

Our itinerary is focused around the beautiful vales and valleys of the mountains, with Glendalough as the centrepiece.

It's an ideal weekend excursion, or dwell longer to enjoy longer hikes

(Megalovania, Re_Pray Tour 2023-24)

Blue sky creeps in, separating lower, dense layers of fleecy-grey clouds that hug the undulating dark hills below, from finer, white, wispier skeins above. Woolly white sheep graze a lime green field in morning sunshine in the foreground. Beyond the bare distant hedgerow that borders their field, light skips off the flooded water meadows. The lower slopes of the distant hills also sing out in lime green fields - vibrant in the sun, despite the distance. The storm and wind that has wined and howled for two solid days and nights has gone!

The broken grey remnant storm clouds scud across a blue sky above distant dark blue and bracken-brown hills. The valley fields are lime green and the pewter river ripples between reedy banks down the valley.

Beyond the khaki willow trees veiling the river margin an old stone bridge with three arches lollops across a black, rippling river. The sun, bright, even though behind a white cloud in a blue sky, pours its light over the distant lime-green hills and onto the river, which bounces it back in return.

A different angle of the stone bridge, showing its path over the black river with patches of reflected sunlight bounced back to the blue sky.

The morning after the storm…

“Louder, louder than a lion 'cause I am the champion
And you're gonna hear me roar”

New winery aims to revitalize tsunami-hit district in Miyagi With the district's population continuing to decline since the disaster, an official said, 'We want the winery to become a new engine (for local revitalization).'

A new winery facility is set to open Saturday in Ishinomaki, which was heavily damaged by the March 2011 tsunami, raising hopes that it will help liven up the struggling community.

What we see when Japanese women photographers shoot back Women in photography have been less visible than their male counterparts. An anthology of 25 photographers and three exhibitions this autumn are turning the tides.

Japanese women photographers — like their counterparts around the world — share a long tradition of being ignored. A recent anthology and several exhibitions are trying to change that.

Hard to believe this wonderful vista will be destroyed by SDCC to make way for 300 car spaces for a €35M overscaled coffee shop at the Hellfire. change.org/p/save-the-h... #sundaythoughts #trees #nature
