A beautiful labour of love was only discovered years after its creator had passed away. In the Autumn of 2016 passengers flying into Derry Airport spotted a beautiful Celtic cross design in the woods near Killea, County Donegal. The cross is more than 100 meters long and 70 meters wide.
It was secretely planted by Liam Emery, a local forester, as a love token to his wife Norma. With years of patient labour, he painted the landscape with a design of Japanese larch trees amongst surrounding evergreens.
Sadly he died in 2011 aged just 51, before his work came to fruition and it was secret between him and her until that fateful autumn when his art came in to bloom.
