Newgrange in the Boyne Valley, Co. Meath is a 5000 year old passage tomb famous for the Winter solstice illumination which lights up the passage and Chamber. Newgrange is part of a complex of monuments built along a bend of the River Boyne known collectively as Brú na Bóinne. The other two principal monuments are Knowth (the largest) and Dowth, but throughout the region there are as many as 35 smaller mounds. This photo was taken on the 8th December 2010 as the Sun rose thirteen days before the Winters Soltice.
