Winter Light at Newgrange
Winter Light at Newgrange
Some years ago, a new tool arrived in the photography arsenal – the drone. Having captured many iconic images of Ireland's monuments and sacred sites from the ground, I now had a whole new perspective – a camera in the sky!
The Irish weather being constantly changing and somewhat capricious, it is possible to capture drama and beauty from the air in a way that allows wide and dramatic views of the monuments and their surroundings.
Newgrange (Síd in Broga) being one of Ireland's largest and oldest monuments, has been a target for my cameras for years. However, with the drone something new and exciting is possible.
This beautiful scene, with its light and shade and verdant greens, was captured on an early winter afternoon in November, when the sun was low in the sky. Patches of cloud allowed the sunlight to highlight various things, but a perfect moment arrived when the great mound of Newgrange AND the U-shaped late Neolithic cursus monument to its east were both beautifully illuminated while almost all else was in shadow.
What a vision!
This is one of the most sublime images I have captured at Newgrange in 25 years of photography. There is little else that matches it, and I think that it portrays something of the majesty and ancientness of the place. In addition, the vibrant greens assure us that agriculture continues at Brú na Bóinne much as it has done for the last five millennia.
