In Ireland these megalithic portal tombs are called dolmens. They are scattered over Ireland, but didn’t realize they existed in your part of the World as well. We do know something of the construction, but little of the ceremony, ritual, or religious beliefs of the builders. Love the ancient, dead tree in front. It just adds a sense of antiquity.
Interesting thing (that you can’t see in the photo since I only had my 90mm lens with me) is, that’s in the middle of a residential area. You can see cars parking.
I assume there is a story behind that that I don’t know … let me do some research … tall – small – table – side … google should come up with something … hmm, google came up with IKEA ….
Sounds like Alice in Wonderland. Don’t talk to white rabbits!
Ah – boyfriend was just doing some research the moment your comment came … but right now he is telling me something about magic mushrooms and Jefferson Airplane r … and yes, about white rabbits. Sounds interesting. The psychedelic version of Alice in Wonderland it seems is what he found.
Thank you – perhaps I should read it some time … and quote it, too … ;-)

Thus far in the south a megalithic tomb? This is something for my non-existent garden :-).

Yes, there are _some_ in Ireland, too ;-)

It’s a tomb?!? I wanted to have a pique-nique on it.
I always see a boletus :-)
And if you eat from one side you will grow tall, and if you eat from the other side you will become small?
