Thankyou for the great pictures of Newgrange, one of my favorite places on the planet. I wonder why the the Maori tribesman of New Zealand tatoo the the same triple spiral you see on the entrance stone at Newgrange? They usally tatoo it on their face.

Great pics blatherites. Reminded me of a visit there nearly 15 years ago. I have pics somewhere taken inside - did you not go in?

Great image of Newgrange from the Dowth mound, you must have to good zoom on your camera. All good images, the skyline on the day obliging - blue sky and lovely white clouds.

I forgot to mention that you can see a picture of the tattoo I am talking about in a book called:
The Mystic Spiral by Jill Purce.

Michael, the first photo was taken using a Sigma 100-300mm lense - hence the zoom...
