been here . . . done this


The Giant's Causeway, located on the northern Antrim coast of Ireland and spreading out 40,000+ six-sided rocks into the ocean arising again on an isle off the Scottish coast. This is the only place in the world where something like this exists. Legend has it that it was volcanic activity, but the truth, we know, is that two giants, one, a Scottish giant named Fingal, and another, an Irish giant named Finn McCool, would use this causeway to walk back and forth between these Celtic countries. Well, at least that's what the brochure said.


By rocks like these that heard the Raven's scream, 

Or Wolf, loud howling by the moon's pale beam, 

That yet its echoes, faintly though they roll 

Down Time's long current . . . rouse and thrill the soul.
