Even though I travel across Ireland during the sunniest of days capturing photos there is always that curious side of me that wants to investigate caves & darker places! Caves are not the boring, dark & scary places most folk believe they are. Cave walls hold so many various colours & textures that have been slowly enriching over millions of years. Some colours found in these caves are tones I have yet to see elsewhere in nature.
Our ancestors believed that this cave was an actual gateway to the “Other World” not only did they live in caves like this, but they actually buried their loved ones here to help guide them to the other world they all believed so strongly in….
Thinking it all over in my mind I have come to the realisation that our ancestors certainly had the right idea by living in these mysterious caves. Clearly for the shelter benefits from the harsh elements but especially for the scenic reasons.
Each morning they woke onlooking this very unchanged scene through their front entrance hole leading straight onto a sandy beach. What a way to start your day! Clearly this mightn’t be a lifestyle choice for everyone especially in modern times with our home comforts, however it’s something id personally prefer now & then just to clear this overthinking mind lol
