Giant's Causeway, Northern Ireland

Went on a trip to the iconic Giant's Causeway in Bushmills, Northern Ireland. An iconic, related to the Myth and a must-visit in Northern Ireland. 



The story goes that the Irish giant Fionn mac Cumhaill (Finn MacCool), from the Fenian Cycle of Gaelic mythology, was challenged to a fight by the Scottish giant Benandonner. Fionn accepted the challenge and built the causeway across the North Channel so that the two giants could meet.

I always wanted to visit this place from the time I watched the Children's Choir singing for the London Olympics video from here in 2012. Never thought the wish would come true in this style.

Later, during one of my travel to London, when I was at the Departure terminal of the Belfast International Airport, I found the impression of Giant Finn and the stone blocks near him. That was a nice installation work.
