Robert's Ramblings

The Giant's Causeway?

Of course not but these hexagonal interlocking concrete columns remind me of the basalt columns of the Giant's Causeway on the west coast of Ulster, Northern Ireland.

I love seeing architecture with strong ties to geological and natural forms, even if unintended. Mostly these are large civic or commercial structures which have the scale to explore form.

Personal dwellings though seem stuck in the recent past unable to break from mostly unattractive traditions.

It's obviously not moonlight illuminating this underwater vision but I could not help but feel as if it was the way the light draped over dragon and kelp.

This Leafy Seadragon captured at The Bluff, Victor Harbor, was just one of many we photographed in one of the best days here I have had all year.
