Giant's Causeway

On Saturday afternoon the four of us drove up to Giant's Causeway.  We took the scenic route that drove us along the coast.  It took us about three hours.  As usual, the scenery was absolutely beautiful!  Unlike the bus situation, Davin was able to stop along the way when there was Kodak moment.




Walking to Giant's Causeway...


Giant's Causeway is an area long the northern coast of Northern Ireland that has around 40,000 basalt rocks.  These columns were formed about 60 million years ago from cooled volcano lava.  However, legend has it that these rocks were created by giants, hence the name.  What makes these rocks remarkable is that most of them are perfect hexagons.  Some of them are up to 40 feet tall!
