There is a unique architectural gem, perched upon the high cliffs above the shores of the north Derry coastline. High on the cliffs is an elegant roman-style round temple; a beautiful rotunda. It is a wonderful surprise. There is none other in Ireland. It looks out across Lough Foyle to Donegal to the north and on a clear day the Scottish Isles can be seen to the north-east. This remarkable building is Mussenden Temple built by the Earl Bishop Frederick Hervey of Derrry.
Inspiration from the Sperrins. These mountains are mostly moorland and blanket bog. It’s a sparse roling landscape. Populated by sheep, bog grass (Eriophorum angustifolium) and muddy SUVs, and farmhouses, old and new.
Some old farm buildings have long-been abandoned by people but are still used for farm equipment and shelter for sheep. So long as there is a tin roof, the walls will last years and years.
The robots are coming for our Art. Many artists are losing their ability to make a living thanks to AI Art and we will all be poorer financially and creatively for it. Here’s why its a problem and what we can do about it.

Happy Easter Emma… and Happy Spring! I love the lighthouse paintings. Getting drone shots is a brilliant idea. It really is amazing how things are built in places far off the beaten path. And your Antrim looks far different from the Antrim I lived in for a few years in New Hampshire. It’s always a pleasure to view your Ireland landscapes.
Thank you Pam – places with the same names in North America (and elsewhere) are always fascinating.
