Finn McCool's Fingers (16:10 Wallpaper)
Another one from the archives which I've re-formatted for use as a desktop wallpaper on wide-screen displays. These five standing stones are known as "Finn McCool's Fingers" or just "The Five Fingers", and are thousands of years old. They're located about 15 minutes drive from Cavan town if you're ever passing by. You can see wind farms in the distance on two of the mountains in the shot.
