EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us on a journey to the Giants Causeway in Antrim, Northern Ireland. The artist behind this masterpiece is none other than the renowned Keystone View Company. The image showcases the breathtaking beauty of this natural wonder, with its magnificent hexagonal basalt columns standing tall against the backdrop of an ancient volcanic landscape. Legend has it that Finn McCool, an Irish giant, constructed this causeway as a means to confront his Scottish rival, Benandonner. However, science tells us that these incredible formations were actually created around 60 million years ago during a volcanic eruption. As molten lava cooled rapidly, it solidified into these remarkable hexagonal shapes we see today. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this photograph, emphasizing the raw power and grandeur of nature's creation. Each pillar stands as a testament to Earth's geological history and reminds us of our planet's awe-inspiring forces.
