It's hot, how about some snow? Three Brothers peaks rising above the Merced River. #landscapephotography #landscapes #naturephotography #NationalParks #outdoors #sonyalpha #yosemite #YNP #NationalParks
Blue sky with a few white fluffy clouds above a landscape reflected in water (the Merced River). In the background is a row of 3 mountain peaks, Eagle Peak, Middle Brother, and Lower Brother. Down the slope below the peaks are evergreen trees. In the foreground there is snow covering the bank of the river.

Prince Connell's Grave • Corracloona Megalithic Tomb • Leitrim

The landscape along the borderlands of east Leitrim, Fermanagh, and Cavan is dotted with a significant number of megalithic tombs, suggesting this was an area of real importance during the Neolithic.

Probably some of Ireland's most striking caves as they are located in the limestone rock face of Keshcorran. During archaeology work, bones from bears, wolves,... were found. But that is not all, artifacts and human remains were also found. choosesligo.com/keash-caves.html #choosesligo
