Ireland, Giant's Causeway

Giant's Casueway

Quite the place. This was one place I was looking forward to seeing...located on the Scenic Causeway Coastal Road in Northern Ireland approximately three miles northeast of Bushmill. Giant's is a World Heritage Site and a National Nature Reserve.......Wikipedia says the fourth natural wonder in the United Kingdom...

Mostly this area is basalt columns stemming from an ancient volcano eruption - some as tall as 12 meters. According to Wikipedia the Irish warrior Fin McCool built the causeway so he could walk to Scotland to fight his Scottish counterpart....maybe yes maybe no......At any rate a must see if you are in Northern Ireland.....that and the murals in Belfast should be high on your list...

As it was off the charts windy this particular day, 70 mile an hours wind and pelting sleet I was only able to manage a few images...This one is an iPhone4s image....
