Poulnabrone Dolmen. I had just about given up when suddenly I found a
patch of blue sky moving in. It’s like that in Ireland. Within a half an
hour, the rain had stopped and I was on my way.
Poulnabrone Dolmen is a very impressive ancient site. You could drive by
it and miss it if you do not know what you are looking for.
When I made this image, I had walked from the road to the dolmen
following the pathway. As you approach the dolmen you also notice the
terrain that is particular to The Burren. Thick fractured stone covers the
surface of the land. The fractures have widened over time and grass and
other vegetation grow in between the slabs of stone. It is remarkable.
The Poulnabrone Dolmen is incredibly impressive. It is said to be 5,000
years old. I have to tell you that it is a amazing feeling to stand before a
human made monument that is that old.
