On the northeast coast of Northern Ireland lives The Giant’s Causeway, an area of about 40,000 hexagonal basalt columns; a site often described as The Eighth Wonder Of The World.
It is no surprise that The Giant’s Causeway is one of Northern Ireland’s most popular tourist attractions. Legend has it that the mythical giant Irish warrior Finn McCool built the causeway to battle his Scottish counterpart Benandonner.
Among the many locations I visited while in Northern Ireland, the Giant’s Causeway was perhaps one of the most lively, charming and exciting areas. As the waves crashed, the tall rock formations called my name for an exhilarating and tiring climb.
Carrick-de-rede was another exciting opportunity I had – the bridge was crafted in 1755 by a salmon fisherman. It was nerve-wracking to cross the shaking roped bridge, but I did! With a selfie to spare.
Beautiful pictures!
I don’t think I’ve ever heard of this place, Emily, and now I’m wondering why???? It would be a photographer’s heaven, for sure!
A place I would love to visit, those basalt columns look amazing – plenty of photo opportunities!
The photos are great – they give a good impression about this well know place. The Giant Causeway is indeed very special, and I actually plan to go there in the autumn. Thanks for sharing your wonderful photos.
beautiful 🙂
