On the coast of Co. Antrim in Northern Ireland is a spectacular natural wonder and UNESCO World Heritage Site; Giant’s Causeway. It’s a large area consisting of thousands of interlocking volcanic basalt pillar-like columns, formed 50-60m years ago. Legend says that the causeway was built by a giant to cross between Northern Ireland and the Scottish isle of Staffa where identical columns can be seen at Fingal’s cave; when you visit, it’s something you could easily believe! With a base in Dublin for a couple of years, we took we took the opportunity to explore the length and breadth of the country; you really can’t say you’ve explored the island of Ireland if you haven’t visited the stunning Giant’s Causeway. Visiting on a hot summer’s day meant there were a lot of tourist buses, but they don’t stay around for the sunset! When everyone had gone, I took lots of photos of the Causeway in the rich, warm summer sunlight and recreated the vista using lots of intricately cut, inlaid pieces of recycled and heavily textured paper; it took a while, but I think that the result is worth it.
