There is something magical about the bog at dusk as night falls. I love how the sky and trees are reflected in the bog pools as I walk through the wet woodland ❤️ @claireissimo.bsky.social @peatlandecr.bsky.social @tocharstories.bsky.social

The longest night of the year, inviting stillness, reflection and deep connection with the earth.
From this moment on, the light slowly returns.

I mentioned ‘elastic stele’ in my earlier post. Below is definition & video to demonstrate (Video shows it on Bog Stitchwort).
Stele: the central core of the stem containing the vascular system (xylem and phloem).
From the Greek ‘stele’ for pillar.

The Lissava Dolmen • Tipperary
You can find this portal tomb hidden away in Scaragh Wood, close to the town of Cahir in South Tipperary.
Based on excavated examples, it likely dates to the earlier to middle part of the Neolithic period, making it around 5,500 years old.
