Celebrate the dawn of the new year and watch the sunrise on Dec 21st as it fills the ancient chamber, older than Stonehenge in England and the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, with glorious light.

Nice! 
Thanks for sharing that. 
I'll be keeping this in mind as we celebrate the solstice (and our 6 year anniversary of moving into this house) tomorrow.

Happy New Year. Days start getting longer. And only three months to the spring equinox.
That was great. I'm really glad I tuned in. Very, very informative. Too bad about the cloud cover, but I know what it can be like.

The weather at Newgrange, even though overcast, looked pretty mellow compared to here. This is what's happening here today....
Maybe the sun will come out tomorrow....
