Feb 25, 2016 08:31 | #1 The Giant's Causeway, renowned for its polygonal columns of layered basalt, is the only UNESCO World Heritage Site in Northern Ireland and in 2015 was awarded the UKs Best Heritage Attraction at the British Travel Awards. Resulting from a volcanic eruption 60 million years ago, this is the focal point of a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and has attracted visitors for centuries. It harbours a wealth of local and natural history. Sea birds can be seen off the coast around the Causeway, with species such as fulmar, petrel and razorbill being frequently observed alongside rare and unusual plant species on the cliffs and nearby rock formations. The Giant’s Causeway is also steeped in myth and legend. Some say it was carved from the coast by the mighty giant, Finn McCool who left behind an ancient home full of folklore. Look out for clues of his existence – including The Giant’s Boot and Wishing Chair. "There are no rules for good Photographs, there are only good photographs" Ansel Adams

Snydremark my very own Lightrules moment More info | Feb 25, 2016 16:04 | #6 This is very cool; thanks for sharing! I only ever see the seaward views from this area; your shot just goes to show how important it is to look behind you once in a while, while you're shooting something else. - Eric S.: My Birds/Wildlife

The reason I was here was to shoot the Aurora. While taking the pics I turned around to see this image in my head. Twice that night I got two shots behind the "Main" action.
