Above Antrim Chamber Dolmen Glenarm Kistvaen Photographer
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the mystical atmosphere of Chamber in Kistvaen, a ancient stone dolmen located above Glenarm in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. The dolmen, also known as a portal tomb, dates back to the Neolithic period and is believed to have been used for burial and ceremonial purposes. The name Kistvaen is derived from the Old Irish word 'cyst' meaning 'box' and 'fain' meaning 'faery' or 'fairy,' reflecting the local folklore that surrounds these ancient structures. In this image, the dolmen stands proudly against a backdrop of rolling hills and lush greenery, with the sun casting long shadows over the landscape. The photographer, seated to the left of the frame, gazes intently at the monument, capturing its essence for posterity. The use of black and white film adds to the timeless quality of the image, transporting us back to a bygone era. The location of the Chamber in Kistvaen, above Glenarm, offers a breathtaking view of the Antrim Coast and the Irish Sea. The area is rich in history and natural beauty, making it a popular destination for tourists and locals alike. The dolmen is just one of many ancient sites that can be found in County Antrim, each with its own unique story to tell. This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of Northern Ireland's ancient past and the importance of preserving it for future generations. It invites us to pause and reflect on the mysteries of the past and the connection we all share to the land and its history.
