  17. I made this photograph of an #alignment of #Megalithic monuments, a stone circle, a passage tomb, and the grave of Queen #Maeve atop #Knocknarea seen from #Carrowmore, #Sligo, IE, on April 25, 2007 using old technology, a Canon PowerShot A710 IS. Today, I used #gimp 3 to convert it to black and white using different settings than last time I posted it.

    A story about Queen Maeve is at: celt.ucc.ie/published/T301012/

    Thirty meters apart, in a small forest : the Lesaff dolmen and menhir - Poullan sur Mer - June 16, 2025.

    J'y ai croisé un groupe polonais d'étudiants et j'imagine de professeurs qui se baladaient à bicyclette.... Je les ai à nouveau croisés près de l'allée couverte.de Lesconil, toujours à Poullan.
