The 108 meter long cargo ship CELTIC with a deck load of rotor blades has passed Cuxhaven on its way from Izmir, TR to Karlshamn, SE.
This unique piece of woodland art close to Donegal's border with Derry was created by local forester Liam Emery in the early part of the millennium, using over 3,000 trees.
Measuring approximately 125 by 70 metres, the Emery Celtic Cross as it has become known, is etched on the side of Bogay Hill just outside Newtown Cunningham at the northern end of the Lagan Valley in County Donegal.
The forester used Japanese Larch for the cross, the needles of which turn Autumnal gold this time of year, surrounded by evergreens.
It was first noticed by passengers flying into Derry city airport. Sadly, the creative man behind the unique idea never got the chance to see it in full growth, having passed away several years ago. www.govisitdonegal.com

Deep in the Irish countryside is an old Celtic ruin still inhabited by spirits. The mist never completely goes away. The sun never quite gets completely through the thick canopy of trees. Look out for the Leprechauns here. I understand they can be quite vicious in protecting their gold if you come across any.

So far at the Melbourne General Cemetery you'd be forgiven for thinking the Jewish and Italian communities have a mortgage on this part of Melbourne. But this is a diverse burial ground, and eventually we come across older symbols of the Irish, Scots, Welsh and English settlers.
'May the road rise to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face. The rains fall soft upon your fields. And until we meet again may God hold you in the hollow of His hand'

The Celtic cross is a form of Christian cross featuring a nimbus or ring that emerged in Ireland, France and Britain in the Early Middle Ages. A type of ringed cross, it became widespread through its use in the stone high crosses erected across the islands, especially in regions evangelized by Irish missionaries, from the 9th through the 12th centuries.

This metal bracelet / cuff measures 0.75" wide, the part with the symbols is 2" side to side including the symbol that goes into the shadows.
This is a metal bracelet was gifted to me by my Mom. I am proud of our Irish / Celtic heritage and wear this cuff bracelet often.
The Celts used sacred symbols and geometry in much of their art. Spirals and repetitive patterns were a common theme - often related to the Earth.
HMM, everyone ! !
August: Sturgeon Moon
August has the Full Sturgeon Moon because of the large numbers of lake sturgeon in the Great Lakes and Lake Champlain. The fish was essential for Native American tribes in the area.
The Celts called it Dispute Moon and Lynx Moon, and the Anglo-Saxons the Grain Moon. Other English names include Corn Moon and Lightning Moon.

Eternal ebb and flow, these natural cycles are also reflected in human bodies and emotions.

Some mist (smoke) wafting around a piece of Waterford crystal, painted with blue LED torchlight.
One of the many Celtic Crosses to be found in Irish cemeteries.
This was taken after a rain storm, with the sun beginning to go down.
i passed this fine celtic cross earlier in the day when the entire background was shrouded in mist but could not pull over for various reasons. later in the day the cross was nicely lit and there was more to see behind. still a bit of sea mist about though.
Happy Yule/Winter Solstice to all my friends and visitors!
Celtic Yule Celebration
Yule or Yuletide ("Yule time" or "Yule season") is a festival historically observed by the Germanic peoples. Scholars have connected the original celebrations of Yule to the Wild Hunt, the god Odin, and the pagan Anglo-Saxon Mōdraniht.
Later departing from its pagan roots, Yule underwent Christianised reformulation, resulting in the term Christmastide. Many present-day Christmas customs and traditions such as the Yule log, Yule goat, Yule boar, Yule singing, and others stem from pagan Yule traditions. Terms with an etymological equivalent to Yule are still used in Nordic countries and Estonia to describe Christmas and other festivals occurring during the winter holiday season. Today, Yule is celebrated in Wiccan and other forms of Neopaganism.

I'm becoming hooked on purchasing Celtic jewelry with mythological images. The first Celtic brooch I purchased was on the Isle of Skye in Scotland in 2016. I found this beauty at the Maryland Renaissance Festival last year. The Celtic brooch, more properly called the penannular brooch are types of brooch clothes fasteners, often rather large. HMM ! !
