Giant's Causeway... - a photo on Flickriver

            With about 319000 posts in 2023 The Giant's Causeway is by far the most instagrammable site of the National Trust. Experiencing at first hand how the flocks of people trembling over the basalt pillars was a shock. Even more shock was that I found myself among them.... Trying to shoot my image (without myself or any other person in it). 
I found this spot that was a little quiet, but showed beautifully why people wanna come to this area. Isn't it a beauty? Doing a day-tour from Dublin our driver had of course told us the story about Fionn mac Cumhaill  & Benandonner. It sure was so much juicier than the scientific volcano explanation. I'm a sucker for folklore. 

#1 Was I bothered by the crowds? A little. Normally I like a scene for myself. But getting on that tour early that morning I decided to visit some of the sites I wouldn't be able to visit otherwise in the near future. So I made the best of it. 
#2 Yes, I deleted a few people from this scene in post. 4 to be precise. 
#3 Do I like this image? Yes, definitely! It has the right vibe for this tremendous location. Moody, with a lack of bright colors. 
#4 Enjoy!
