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.

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.

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.
