On the Edge, Giant's Causeway, Northern Ireland
One more from the archives. I always think of the person in this picture as the quintessential traveller – backpack, cap, standing on the edge after going as far as he can go. There are worst things to be!

The Giant’s Causeway is impressive from a distance, but it isn’t until you get up close that you can see all the intricate details, and how perfectly the hexagonal basalt columns fit together.

Time for another shot of the Giant’s Causeway. According to legend, the causeway was built by Finn McCool so he could walk to Scotland and fight a warrior called Benandonner. For some reason, Finn didn’t arrive, so the much larger Benandonner crossed the bridge looking for him. When Finn’s wife Oonagh saw the size of the Scottish warrior, she disguised Finn as a baby in order to protect him. Benandonner saw the size of Finn’s ‘son’, and, assuming Finn must be truly gigantic, fled home in terror, ripping up the causeway behind him to avoid being followed.
I’m not sure what the moral of this story is, except that brains beats brawn every time. And possibly that if you are going to build a gigantic stone bridge between two countries in order to pick a fight, you should find out how large the guy is first.
