Megalith


We are heading to Rochester, NY for Thanksgiving, so I didn't get to shoot today. So here is a photograph I did in Ireland back in 1993, It is a photograph of a dolmen, which is a type of megalith, that consists of a chamber of upright stones with a large capstone forming a roof. It is located in the Burren, in the northwest part of Ireland. The Burren is a karst limestone region of approximately 300 sq km which lies in the north west corner of Co Clare, in Ireland. It is composed of limestone pavements, and grass and no trees. It contains dozens of megalithic tombs and celtic crosses and a ruined Cistercian Abbey from the 12th century. They believe these dolmens were constructed around 3000 BC. It is a bleak and beautiful land, and I found photographs everywhere.
