Welcome to the Ancient Skies homepage. This site features the photographic work of Geoff Ingram, who lives in County Down, Ireland.  
     
  In Ireland, history is an integral part of the landscape. From medieval castles to ancient tombs and standing stones, Ireland is surrounded by the legacy of its past. Some of these monuments have held their secrets for over 5,000 years – we know almost nothing about their function or of the people who built them. Each of these ancient standing stones, has its own unique character and ambience. I have endeavoured to capture this atmosphere in a series of photographs which I've entitled 'Portals'. Part 1 of this series can be seen by clicking the image below.
