Description
The Emery Celtic Cross, Killea, County Donegal, Ireland
This giant 100 meter long cross is now known as the “Emery Celtic Cross” which is proudly named after its creator Liam Emery. Intelligently he planted 2 different species of pine trees in the shape of this giant Celtic cross design almost 10 years ago in these woods of Donegal. The reason being that the outer trees are evergreen and don’t drop their needles in Autumn but the trees used for the actual cross design are not evergreen & turn this golden colour right before they drop their needles for the cold seasons ahead
After a of decade secretly growing all the same colour, it was only this fall that these trees have matured enough to shed their needles & for this hidden wonder to become visible for the first time ever. It was first spotted a few weeks ago by passenger aeroplanes! Unfortunately Mr Liam Emery passed away 6 years ago and never got to witness his stunning creation grow, but im sure he is now smiling from ear to ear with pride when he stares down from heaven at his now famous “Emmery Celtic Cross”
We thank you for this lasting gift Liam, you have certainly helped God himself put a stamp on Ireland……
