Newgrange Ruin - Vertorama
I recently had the privilege of going on a day tour to Newgrange in the Boyne Valley of Ireland. It was constructed over 5,000 years ago (about 3,200 B.C.), making it older than Stonehenge in England and the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt. Newgrange was built during the Neolithic or New Stone Age by a farming community that prospered on the rich lands of the Boyne Valley. Knowth and Dowth are similar mounds that together with Newgrange have been designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
Archaeologists classified Newgrange as a passage tomb, however it is now recognised to be much more than that; Ancient Temple is a more fitting classification, a place of astrological, spiritual, religious and ceremonial importance, much as present day cathedrals are places of prestige and worship where dignitaries may be laid to rest. It was a very amazing place to see and photograph.
This is a hand stitched vertorama made at the entry way to a small temple on the Newgrange sight. Three landscape style shots were taken and then stitched together vertically to create the wide (vertically) view seen here.
