Crossing Into Autumn

https://www.irishcentral.com/roots/history/the-amazing-origins-of-a-giant-celtic-cross-shape-in-a-donegal-forest-video

Over a decade ago, in the Donegal hills, the seeds were planted for a stunning display of Irish heritage. This incredible Celtic Cross is visible aerially in the Autumn when the trees of this forest contrast in their fall colors. Thanks be to Forester Liam Emmery, who's since passed, for this woodland magic. Enjoy a flyover in the video below. And savor these Autumnal days before they fall away with the leaves.

Journeys on Screen: One Million Dubliners


One Million Dubliners is very well done documentary about Glasnevin Cemetery in Dublin, affectionately referred to as the National Cemetery of Ireland, the resting place of many of Ireland's rebels and heroes, writers and musicians, mums and dads. It is a fascinating look into not only the history of the cemetery and its cultural legacy but the day to day business of running such a place, of providing such an important service to families. This is a beautifully shot film, respectfully made. As you'll learn from the film, Glasnevin offers tours through which ages of Irish history is told in a profound and engaging way. This documentary helps tell its story.
