" South West from Seefin Neolithic Grave "

            Seefin at 622m has a commanding vista of the surrounding countryside. This view shows part of the burial mound looking towards Sorrel Hill and Blessington Lakes. When this tomb was built the view would be practically the same as it is today so its understandable why they chose it as a last resting place.
  I did enter the tomb down the narrow passageway and found the carvings on the walls which I will show later.
This mountain is very accessible and only takes about an hour round trip from the road. Id recommend it to anyone visiting the area. Our neighbours go on about Stonehenge but its practically new at 3000 year old. This is over 5000 years old and not held together with concrete! I kid you not!!!
   All in good fun for my English friends!
      I do hope you enjoy and I really am amazed at your wonderful interest and comments! I love this photo as the colours are very good.  I always use a Hoya n/d filter for landscapes which improves sky and vegetation colour and set my camera to Vivid or equivalent setting. Just doing these two simple things make a big difference. If I had have known these 2 tips from the start, it would have made a vast difference to my photos! Try it and tell me what you think?
 Thank you!
                Pat.
