Runabay Head and Tor Head: A Timeless View Along the County Antrim Coastline, Northern Ireland (circa early 1900s) This evocative photograph captures the breathtaking beauty of Runabay Head and Tor Head, two distinctive headlands located in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. The image, taken in the early 1900s, showcases the raw, untouched power of the Atlantic Ocean as it crashes against the rugged cliffs. Runabay Head, with its distinctive white lighthouse, stands proudly on the left side of the image. The lighthouse, built in 1875, has been a beacon of hope and safety for mariners navigating the treacherous waters of the North Atlantic for over a century. On the right side of the image, Tor Head, with its towering cliffs and jagged rocks, rises majestically from the sea. The headland's name is derived from the Old Norse word "torr," meaning "rocky height." The natural beauty of the area is further enhanced by the lush greenery that covers the land, providing a stark contrast to the wild, untamed waters below. The view along the coastline is a feast for the eyes, with the clear blue waters of the Irish Sea stretching out to the horizon. The image transports us back in time, allowing us to imagine the lives of those who once lived and worked in this remote and beautiful part of the world. This photograph is a testament to the enduring power of nature and the timeless allure of the coastline. It invites us to reflect on the past, appreciate the present, and look forward to the future, as we continue to marvel at the wonders of the natural world.
