$Heavenly motion above an ancient Standing stone.Suituated at the entrance to the Boyne valley at the mouth of the Boyne river Baltray Co Louth this 5000 year old celestial sign post really captures your imagination .The image does not do the stone justice standing at 2.9 metres tall it\'s only when you stand next to it and feel how solid it is can you appreciate it\'s significance on the landscape.Note the smaller stone in the background standing at 1.8 metres it is just as impressive in it\'s own right as it\'s larger companion.Imagine how many storms these two have endured over the Millennia and still stand i\'m sure as dominant as the day they were set, a reall testimont to the builders.$

$One of the few remaining standing stones which forms what has become known as the great circle at Newgrange.The horrible looking haze of light on the distant horizon is in fact Dublin city, approx 35Km from this location.It\'s amazing that any stars can be see at all from our sprawling cities, i think it highlights the importance in the campaign for dark skies in Ireland and around world in general.$
