Giant's Causeway, a photo from Antrim, Northern Ireland

Photographer's Note

Located on the northern coast of Northern Ireland. The area consists of about 40,000 basalt interlocking columns, the results of an ancient volcanic activity some 50-60 million years ago. The tops of the columns form stepping stones that lead from the cliff foot and disappear into the sea. Most of the columns are hexagonal although there are also some with 4,5,7 and 8 sides. The tallest are about 12m high.
You should plan you're shotting with regards to the tides which cover and uncover the stones.

Hello Colin,
This is a very interesting and unusual shot. A lonely figure of a woman in a red on the top basalt columns gives this track the completeness and meaning. Excellent color and sharpness. Good job. Congratulations.
best regards,
Irena

Hello Colin,
Beautiful capture of this natural wonder. The basalt columns are presented here in a nice contrast with the waves.
The woman in red adds colour and helps us to estimate the scale.
Best regards, Paul

Hi Colin,
A very peaceful shot, and calming as this woman watches the sea from this iconic spot. I remember sitting in that exact spot pondering the world as the sun set. Very nice capture of this amazing place, I really like how we can the variance in height of the columns, and their unique footprints.
Cheers
Noel
