It's in TME (its location on the Ireland map is wrong though :-( - but there is the bonus of me standing by it in the photo :-)

At the time of his visit this became Julian's favourite dolmen. It's one of mine, too. It is quite simply, insane.

As for the picture, nice use of remote flash (methinks) in the photo and a great angle (meknows).

And I would have gotten away with it too if wasn't for you pesky kids!

I use it for most photos these days, even in daylight it lifts the stones out of the background if its balanced well (the tricky bit).

I now carry two tripods, one for the flash as you can see and one for the camera, but I think I'll have to invest in a nice monopod sometime soon.

The tomb is just crazy!! Its even a bit exciting standing beside it because you think its going to fall over any second.

That photo is a snails eye view, taken from the ground up (those little bean bag supports are great :) )

Thanks for the comments!
