Hi Paul,

Very nice shot of a 'Rag Tree'..An old pagan custom, usually the rags are placed there by people who believe that if a piece of clothing from someone who is ill, or has a problem of any kind, is hung from the tree the problem or illness will disappear as the rag rots away.

Usually, though not always, the trees are close to Holy Wells.

An old pagan custom.....

Just spent a fabulous weekend visiting a friend in Dublin (what a wonderful city!). Having seen Tara, New Grange and visited the Chester Beatty Museum I am absolutely amazed at how people thousands of years apart are so closely linked in so many ways.
