As mew can see, there was a little magic at play with the rainbow!
Mew know how much we love ancient standing stones and stone circles, see our previous trips to:
Here's a little bit of info from BBHQ's Historical Travel Guide, Smooch:
Greetings to all the history aficionados and travel enthusiasts out there!
This week we just had to visit the magical Uragh Stone Circle in County Kerry, Ireland and it was an experience that left us paw-struck, not just about the ancient history and magnificent craftsmanship of the people who built it, but the magical energy which just purrmeated the area, it literally thrummed through our paws. Located in a remote part of the countryside, the circle is surrounded by verdant hills and lush greenery, making for a breathtaking view.
The circle is much smller than previous ones we've visited, and has a diameter of approximately 2.4 meters (8 feet) and consists of five standing stones that are arranged in a perfect circle. There's one enormouse monolith, the one Fudge is purrched upon at north-east /south-west axis. Each of the stones is of varying height, and are local sandstone which are known for their unique shape and color.
The Uragh Stone Circle was constructed between 3300 to 900 BCE, during the Bronze Age, and its purpose remains shrouded in mystery. Experts believe that it may have had religious or ceremonial significance for the people who built it. Some theories suggest that it was used for astronomical observations, as the circle is aligned with the winter solstice sunrise, while others believe that it was a place of worship or a site for burials.
Walking around the circle, we immersed ourselves in the primal power of the ancestors who placed them here so long ago, using only simple tools and the ingenuity of the people who built them.
Our visit to the Uragh Stone Circle was an unforgettable experience that transported us back in time to the ancient world of Ireland's magical past. It's a must-visit site for anypawdy interested in history, archaeology, or just seeking a serene and beautiful spot to reflect and appreciate the wonders of the world.

We also turned this fab arty-farty picture into a puzzle, so do stop by the puzzle page and take the Puzzle Challenge, see if mew can beat our time of 10 mins 32 secs.
We're off to take a quick stroll around the garden and make a list of all the jobs that the P.A. and Cat Dad need to take care of in the big Spring clean up.
Smooch is already waiting by the oven, he knows the exact time it needs to be switched on so he can have his lunch at precisely 1pm! MOL

Ooh, magic!
ReplyDeleteIreland is a really nifty place to be.
Super cool, mew guys! Happy St. Patrick's Day. We hope there was a pot of gold nip at the end of that rainbow! XO
ReplyDeleteWe loved our road trip to Ireland a few years ago, and you can really feel a difference in the atmosphere. It is magical with it's mountains, loughs and glens and is a wonderful place to be.
ReplyDeleteWe, too, hope there was a Pot of Gold - or at least a large number of bowls of Fancy Feast in all flavours - at the end of that rainbow. Happy St. Patrick's Day.
ReplyDeleteHappy Magical St. Patrick's Day! Wishing you all lots of gold and sun and warmth.
ReplyDeleteThe surroundings are stunning. Just imagine being there on a sunny summer's day and evening. Wishing you all a very happy and luck filled day and week!

ReplyDeleteThis certainly looks a fascinating place to visit and, as you say, smaller than the others but, I m guessing, more concentrated and powerful.

ReplyDeleteWow there is so much info to remember here. We will come back here and study up before we go to Ireland some day. The stones and all that Irish lore is so interesting to us. As fur the puzzle - since I just started doing these some of them are taking me around 45 minutes nevermind 10! oh my! :-)
