Winter Solstice sunrise at Newgrange - 22nd December 2006

Joe & Clare won tickets in the winter solstice lottery 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.
