The Portal Dolmen (burial place) at Poulnabrone was erected c. 3400 BCE. Excavations have found the remains of 20 individuals implying a reverence for the dead. It's shape and orientation towards the east might suggest "a religious attitude to the heavens." (The Burren, Kilfenora, The City of Crosses, A Ramblers Guide and Map)

Life Perspective
"A good photograph is knowing where to stand." - Ansel Adams
Life is like that, too. The view from where we look strongly impacts how we see. With the camera close to the rock formation, low to the ground and pointing upwards the Portal Dolmen appears enormous. Sometimes, we can be so close to an issue or a problem or an obstacle that we are unable to examine, analyze, and assess it appropriately. Often, it is essential that we step back in order to reevaluate what we perceive, to understand better the size or importance of what is before us.
As the photo below indicates, a little distance, a little space, more information can dramatically alter our comprehension.
