"We [the Moderns] are like dwarves perched on the shoulders of giants [the Ancients], and thus we are able to see more and farther than the latter. And this is not at all because of the acuteness of our sight or the stature of our body, but because we are carried aloft and elevated by the magnitude of the giants." - Bernard of Chartres (later, by Isaac Newton, among others). This quote made meaningful by our recent travels.
My daughter, standing atop a part of the Giant's Causeway. Northern Ireland.
Thanks for visiting. We are heading back to the US tomorrow, but lots of pictures still to edit.
10/1/2020: Finished year 7 (!), with continuing gratitude towards this amazing community. Based in St. Louis, MO. Regular worker-bee and self-taught photography dilettante....
Beautifully composed shot of this Irish icon. Great idea to have your daughter out there, makes a great focal point. Looking forward to seeing more of Ireland.
Fabulous shot. I've been to Northern Ireland on numerous occasions, and never been here. Scandalous, I know. My next trip over, it will be done. F-i-L lives in Portadown.
