Prehistoric PortugalThis <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/TombTuesday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TombTuesday</a> I'm grateful that yesterday when Portugal had a massive nation-wide powercut, I was out in the countryside admiring this gorgeous dolmen in the sunshine, surrounded by wildflowers.

Prehistoric PortugalWhat do you call a megalithic tomb that isn't that anymore? The Anta dos Pombais is a dolmen that was repurposed into a farm shelter, so it's now a prehistoric/modern hybrid. It is an excellent place to site and reflect on the passing of time and the modification of old places. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/megalith" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#megalith</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/megalithictomb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#megalithictomb</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/dolmen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#dolmen</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/prehistoric" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#prehistoric</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Portugal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Portugal</a><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VUsrh1sz9w" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VUsrh1sz9w</a>
