On the road in Northern Ireland Laura captured these great country scenes.
On Saturday September 16th, the third and longest stop of our tour day was at The Giant’s Causeway in Northern Ireland.
Laura was able to capture shots that made it look like we weren’t surrounded by hundreds of people!
On the road down. You can see the line of people headed down in front of us.
There were as many people behind us, too. This was a very popular place to visit.
The Giant’s Causeway lies at the foot of the basalt cliffs along the sea coast on the edge of the Antrim plateau in Northern Ireland. It is made up of some 40,000 massive black basalt columns sticking out of the sea. The dramatic sight has inspired legends of giants striding over the sea to Scotland. Geological studies of these formations over the last 300 years have greatly contributed to the development of the earth sciences, and show that this striking landscape was caused by volcanic activity.
Josh and Laura were more sure footed than Greg and me. They went to some heights. We stayed closer to solid ground. We all decided on taking the bus back to the top and to our tour bus when we were done seeing what we wanted to see.
Our next stop on this day would be Belfast for a very short stop.
I want to mention again the beautiful sunshine and blue skies we were able to enjoy at these stops, glorious!

Wonderful photos of the Giant’s Causeway and your family. It is one spot I wanted to see but we did not make to Northern Ireland. It does look crowded. Take care, have a happy new week!
…wow, the sun was out!
Simple beautiful!
Fabulous place and I’d love to have a photographer like your DIL along when we tour a popular place; she made it look as if you were on a private one!
