Winter Solstice Dawn Illuminates the Chamber of Newgrange

from €100.00

Gallery Edition: Limited edition of 75 prints in three sizes, printed on fine art heavyweight archival paper.

At dawn on the winter solstice, the rising sun appears over the horizon at 8.55am local time. Within a few minutes, a long, dagger-like beam of light enters the chamber of the passage tomb, not through the door but through a specially contrived opening built above and behind the entrance. For almost twenty minutes, the beam of light grows longer and broadens out as it sweeps across the chamber floor.

As the sun rises higher, the light begins to narrow once more and slowly withdraws into the passageway, illuminating 5,000 year old carvings with its golden reflected light.

Print only on heavyweight fine art cotton rag paper with white border. Sizing relates to paper size.
