Giant's Causeway (Northern Ireland)

And I didn't stay in Belfast all the time, I made a trip up north to see the Giant's Causeway.

On the way, I passed near the rope bridge, I know you can't really see it on the picture, site is closed during the winter period, nobody can't go down there.




Yeah, there's a bridge to go to the tiny island.


The purpose of the trip was the Giant's Causeway. It's a site near Bushmill, where there is a few thousands of basalt columns. Those were formed by a volcanic eruption. It looks like the stones were put together as it is so "organised" and the name "Giant" comes from a legend which says an Irish Giant there built the causeway to cross the sea so that he could go to Scotland.
