Giants Causeway top 3 facts (ish)
1. It is believed that Giant’s Causeway formed 50 million years by volcanic action. As the lava cooled rapidly, it contracted, resulting in the instantly recognisable columnar structures.
2. There is myth that it was built by a warrior giant named Finn MacCool who create a sturdy path to Scotland and so that he didn’t get his feet wet. It’s said he wanted a road to Scotland to go fight a fellow giant and enemy. Similar formations can be found in a cave in Scotland… so is it just a myth?!
3. Like the giants from Irish and Scottish legend, the volcano that gave birth to the basalt columns can no longer be seen today. It has disappeared from the face of the earth through erosion. As is so often the case, it is the traces of history like the Giants Causeway that point to a bygone world to this day.
Oh a quick nip back close to home today! Just close enough to wave, in Northern Ireland, to check everything at homes OK… don’t panic we will be jetting off again tomorrow!
But today we are at the amazing Giants Causeway (one location I may actually manage to get to one day!) Isn’t it a stunning one though?!
Soft grass tones and dark rocks with a sunset. I love the soft pallette used here! Almost pastel earthy notes. The closer you look the more colours you’ll find. Love love love this one.
I have a huge love for this colourway and so happy we have one based on something closer to us! Check the granny at the bottom of the blog too!
Excited for tomorrow! Eeeeee
