    If the world does end today - It was nice knowing you all. By the way - is it GMT or Mexican time I should be worried about? By the way two - there is no Dog in this Photograph....
  • DannyM8 said:
    The bones of three dogs were found in the chamber of Newgrange during excavations, one each from the east and west chambers and one from just outside the end chamber. It is not known for sure whether these bones are ancient or more modern. It is thought they may have belonged to stray dogs who got into the passage but could not get out again.

    If you're very, very good DannyM8 the first photo of 2013 will have a Dog in the Photograph! :)

    It looked much nicer 100 years ago... Today the stones feel a bit plastic...

    I just went out and bought a 2013 calendar from a shop that says it sells Mayan stuff. I'm suspicious. It's just 12 sheets of blank paper stapled together.

    Delighted to be able to contribute to the education of Morning Mary! See below from Wikipedia? "The Boyne Navigation (Irish: Loingseoireachta na Bóinne) is a series of canals running 31 km (19 mi)[2] roughly parallel to the River Boyne from Oldbridge to Navan in County Meath, in Ireland. The navigation was once used by horse-drawn boats travelling between Navan, Slane and the port of Drogheda; however is now derelict. The navigation is currently being restored voluntarily. The Boyne Navigation branch of the Inland Waterways Association of Ireland have an agreement with An Taisce giving it an exclusive license to carry out restoration work on the navigation to return it to a usable waterway." I first came across it when kayaking down the Boyne to Slane, though I must admit that I did not realise that the intermittent strips of contained water amounted to a canal! I also crossed it when visiting Newgrange when leaving the Interpretative Centre to reach the coaches taking us to the monument!

    "The Rós na Righ was a steam launch[1] which made trips on the Boyne Navigation between Oldbridge and Slane in Ireland. There are many other photos which feature the Rós na Righ which are contained in the William Laurence Photographic Collection.[2] It can be hard to search this collection for examples of these photos below. Photograph 9997 [3] from this collection show Rós na Righ in the foreground and Slane Castle in the background. Photograph 4206 [4] shows Rós na Righ under a man made archway locally referred to as the Scabby Arch [5] on the Boyne Navigation. Photograph 7800[6] show a photo of Rós na Righ at Morgan's/ Rosnaree Lock (a double lock) on the Boyne Navigation. ... " From en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ros_na_Righ

    Maybe here? GeoHive 25" OSI map There are a couple of locks near Rosnaree, but this is the one with a little house.

    No streetview, but an aerial view from google.
  • beachcomber australia said:
    Niall McAuley I think you are right - you can just see a stone bridge in the background marked on the 25" map (see note).
