Here stands the sea god Manannan Mac Lir and of course you stop at such a place, no matter how windy it is. Gortmore is a stunning viewpoint on the Bishop's Road in Northern Ireland and is part of the Causeway Coastal Route. On a clear day, you can see all the way to Donegal and the islands of Islay and Jura on the west coast of Scotland. How fortunate that the sea god put a stop to us! / © Photo: Georg Berg

War and energy

Fossil fuels should not be promoted as sustainable and natural gas should not be obtained via pipelines. Independence from despots would be another goal.
