for December 22nd, they were very fortunate to experience a glorious
sunrise in the chamber at Newgrange.

Clare
leaving the Visitors Centre with mist over the Boyne, it didn't look like
a good morning for the sun to illuminate the Newgrange passage and
chamber.

View of the Boyne Valley from Newgrange, the mist adding a mythical element.

The sun broke through the mist for a brilliant illumination of the chamber at Newgrange.
