"I owe a lot of my inspiration to find
and photograph megalithic tombs (most of which I
didn't know existed behind the hedges I passed by so often) to your superb
website.
"I find your photographs especially valuable
because I can see how many have changed
(sadly for the worse) over the last few decades. Your photo of Clontygora
in the snow in
particular was responsible for me taking to the icy December lanes of
Armagh
to get some of my own!
"The photos of Kilclooney
More amongst others
convinced me that these tombs are not only interesting to visit and admire,
but are also truly sculptural especially in the context of where the builders
chose to place them."
- Ken Williams, photographer, Dublin 2005.
