  1. 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.

  2. The joys of pre-ordering - I ordered this months ago, forgot all about it, and today, through the passage of time, it arrives, almost as if it had waited until I was old enough, and wise enough, to read it. And worth the wait it most certainly was. Take a bow @weird_walk 👏🧙‍♂️

  3. What’s your favourite ancient monument?
    Here’s my local stone circle at Stanton Drew (in Somerset).
    There are 3 circles + other features that combine to make it the 3rd largest complex of standing stones in England.
    In the garden of the village pub - the Druid’s Arms - is a collapsed burial chamber that predates the stone circles.
    Worth stopping for a pint 🍻
