Belfast, Northern Ireland
This is throwback, hence the gloomy weather and the dark photos that makes it seem that there is an impending doom. I realised I have been slacked, if you want to know, I am sure you don’t care, but I have been writing and translating for web content for work a lot that I can’t seem to bring myself to write again at home. So I try when I can.
I was in Belfast for work, but I extended for a couple of days as I wanted to see the Giant Causeway. An area of about 40,000 interlocking basalt columns, which looks more human made than a result of an ancient volcanic eruption, because it’s geometric-hexagonal shapes.
Belfast has a very lively pub music scene, that every weekend there is always a band playing somewhere. I saw a couple in the pubs I visited. As a touristy destination of course it’s surrounding areas is famous for it’s Games of Thrones location, but as I am not into Games of Thrones, I didn’t really visit these. And of course it is where Titanic was built, but I am not interested in that either. The Places that I actually visit are:
-
The Pubs
-
Ulster Museum
-
Belfast Queen’s University
-
Belfast Botanical Garden and Palm House
-
Giant Causeway
Have you heard about the Giant Causeway? Is there similar natural phenomenon in your area? if there isn’t, is there an amazing natural site near where you are?
Oh my god, there ara beautiful places,i hope sometime i am going to here
I hope you get the chance too!
that’s also my first time of hearing about the Giant Causeway. looks gorgeous! amazing what nature can do, huh? i can’t think of any similar natural phenomenon here that is as “constant” as that (there are only natural phenomenon sightings such as aurora borealis, light pillars & halos…you can only see then if/when you’re lucky).
PS. i thought i was the only person left on earth who’s not into Game of Thrones. thank goodness i’ve got you! 😀
Yes, the weather wasn’t though! Sigh. I find the geometric thing fascinating. Re: Games of thrones, I think we might be blood sisters.
Haven’t heard about Giant causeway before but the first picture reminds me a lot of Semeti beach in lombok.. hehe. I wrote about it here : https://christabercerita.com/2015/10/25/lombok-trip-itinerary/
Ah it does look similar. Those ones reminded me more near vesuvius. Balsatic rocks, are they geometric?
Yes, looks like it 🙂
