1. Title: A Man Amongst the Stones of Lough Gur's Ancient Circle, Co. Limerick, Ireland 2.. This evocative photograph captures the mystical essence of Lough Gur's Stone Circle in County Limerick, Ireland, circa early 1900s. The hauntingly beautiful image, taken from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time, inviting us to ponder the enigmatic past of this ancient site. The Stone Circle at Lough Gur, a Neolithic monument, is believed to date back to around 3200 BC. It is one of the most important and largest stone circles in Ireland, with a diameter of approximately 120 feet. The circle is surrounded by the tranquil waters of Lough Gur, a picturesque freshwater lake, which adds to the ethereal atmosphere of the location. In this photograph, a man is seen standing amongst the stones, providing a sense of scale and offering a glimpse into the past. The man, dressed in turn-of-the-century attire, appears small and insignificant in the face of the monument's grandeur and age. This juxtaposition emphasizes the profound history and significance of the site, which predates the man's existence by thousands of years. The image also serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that can be found in County Limerick, Republic of Ireland. The area is steeped in mythology and folklore, with numerous legends and tales associated with the Stone Circle and Lough Gur. Today, the site remains a popular tourist attraction, drawing visitors from around the world who seek to connect with the past and experience the magic of this ancient place.
