A first look at The Giant’s Causeway

As we continue our easterly direction walk to this UNESCO World Heritage site we begin to see the crowds and basalt rock columns. We were to join the throng and have our picnic there too.
Another phone photo, even though I had my big camera swinging from my neck on this slippery surface.

~ The Giant's Causeway is an area of about 40,000 interlocking basalt columns, the result of an ancient volcanic fissure eruption. It is located in County Antrim on the north coast of Northern Ireland, about three miles northeast of the town of Bushmills. ~

Glad you liked this snap Gordon. Impossible to get the whole thing without lots of people. I suppose we could have tried to get here very early or late. In fact it was an accident that we got to it at all on that day as we had not meant to walk as far. We had intended even after seeing it that we would go again but we never did. Maybe I am selfish too but we have to record things as and when they come along.

Enjoy the weekend. Herb

So fascinating Herb. I like the inclusion of the procession of people in the background.
I'm sure you took great care of your camera :-)) A very good picture of these unusual ancient rocks.

All the best, Rosa.

Thanks Rosa, the coastline was fascinating as testified by the amount of tourist. There was no getting away from them at this time but as I was one myself, should I complain?

Cheers. Herb

Once upon a time, there was a mythological Irish giant called Finn McCool who got himself into a spot of trouble with a high-tempered Scottish giant called Benandonner who had made a claim for Finn’s island of Ireland. I leave the rest of the story to your imagination, Herb.
A fascinating area which was very crowded even when I visited it in the late 60s.
