EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Hugh Rooney transports us back in time to ancient Ireland, specifically County Longford. The image showcases the majestic Aughnacliffe Dolmen, a remarkable megalithic structure that dates back to 3000 BC. Standing proudly against the scenic backdrop of rural Ireland, this architectural marvel is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of the Irish people. The dolmen's imposing capstone rests upon several upright stones, creating an awe-inspiring burial chamber that was once used for cremation rituals and burial customs. Its construction from granite gives it a timeless quality, while its vibrant blue hue contrasts beautifully with the lush green landscape surrounding it. As we gaze at this sightseeing wonder, our eyes are drawn towards the sky above where fluffy white clouds dance gracefully over this historic landmark. A solitary tree stands nearby, providing shade and adding depth to the already picturesque vista. This print not only captures the beauty of Ireland's natural scenery but also serves as a poignant reminder of our ancestors' ingenuity and reverence for their departed loved ones. It invites us on a virtual vacation through time and space, allowing us to appreciate both the grandeur of ancient architecture and the tranquility of rural landscapes.
