Newgrange in Co. Meath, Ireland is also known as Bru na Boinne. It's an absolutely beautiful place where ancient society marked the magic of Nature at the Winter and Spring Solstices. People still flock there today to see the sun rise through the narrow shaft and send a beam of warmth and life into a 5000 year old
I hope everyone takes a moment to enjoy the day, the sun, the Life.

Happy Winter Solstice to you, Amelopsis. Beautiful images with this post.
Unseasonably warm in Boulder today -- it could break 60 degrees F, and it looks warm through the weekend, as well.
I prefer more wintery weather for winter, but I won't complain too much.
Many blessings to you for the remaining Holidays and New Year....
Thanks for your good wishes Michael, and of course the same to you. Duddle the elder of my feline companions is butting at the keyboard, so he's also sending good wishes to you today on the Solstice & through the New Year.
