I was traveling with my mother through Ireland, a trip we had been wanting to take together for some time. We visited Giant's Causeway, a remarkable geologic formation, and were watching the locals try to keep from slipping on the wet rock. I turned around to see this boy and his friends running around without any problems whatsoever. I ended up speaking with this boy's father for quite some time. He was so friendly and warm and happened to be another photographer. This shot always makes me smile.

Giant's Causeway
The highlight of a fantastic trip along the Antrim Coast, only a couple of hours from Belfast. After a short hike you can roam among the vast field of columns. The views from the climb up the hill on the far side is well worth the effort.

Giant's Causeway, Antrim, Northern Ireland
A trip to the Giant's Causeway is made all the better with the audio guide provided. A beautiful walk on paths next to the sea are filled with voices from the past and their stories of the Causeway.

Old Bushmills Distillery
We arrived at Bushmill's too late for a tour. In winter the last one leaves at 3.30pm, but we did manage to have a wee drink in the bar and a quick look around the shop. My favourite was the whiskey with honey.

Giant's Causeway
It’s easy to fixate yourself on the miracle of Giant’s Causeway’s natural design, but a walk around the bay and up the mountain is equally exhilarating. Depending on weather, opt to continue along the bay and up the front side of the mountain that will lead you to monumental bird’s eye view.

Dunluce Castle
Northern Ireland is often cold, wet and gloomy. Yet on this Sunday morning, the sun was shining and the majestic Dunluce Castle was on display. I loved running through the castle grounds imagining what life was like for the people who once lived in that very castle. It's a beautiful landmark and has even more beautiful views of the Northern Irish coast from the edges of the castle. I took this shot from the side of the hill in which the castle is built into. It's a must-see for any traveler!
