A Whole Heap of Hexagons. #giantscauseway #northernireland #antrimcoast #basaltcolumns #geologyrocks #sunsetlover #landscapehunter #naturecaptures #traveldiaries #uklandscapes #goldenhour #discoverni #roadtrip #scenicview #smartphonephotography #photography

A large, mound-shaped formation of interlocking hexagonal basalt columns at the Giant's Causeway, rising up in the foreground. Behind the geometric stones stands a rugged, dark cliff face topped with vegetation. The scene is illuminated by a soft, golden yellow sunset sky, which highlights the rough texture and patches of lichen on the ancient rock formations.

A vertical photograph of the Giant's Causeway at sunset. The foreground is dominated by the dark, hexagonal basalt columns, some with pools of water reflecting the light. The sea stretches out to the horizon in the middle ground under a dramatic, vibrant orange and pink sky where the bright sun is low, casting a shimmering reflection across the water towards the shore. The atmosphere is tranquil and majestic.

Fingal’s Cave, a 50-million-year-old basalt cathedral off Scotland’s coast, reveals nature’s precision — geometric lava columns, perfect acoustics, and volcanic artistry shaped by time, fire, and ocean waves.

Sunset on Basalt. #giantscauseway #antrimcoast #northernireland #basaltcolumns #geologyrocks #seascape #sunsetlovers #coastalview #naturephotography #travelireland #beautifuldestinations #twilightsky #oceanvibes #stoneformations #smartphonephotography #photography

A wide-angle landscape shot of the Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland at sunset. The foreground is dominated by the dark, hexagonal basalt columns, partially wet and reflecting the light. The setting sun, a bright orange orb, hangs low over the horizon, casting a shimmering path of coppery light across the dark blue-grey water of the ocean. The sky above is a blend of pale orange and pink, creating a dramatic, tranquil mood. A tiny silhouette of a distant sailboat is visible on the horizon.

The sea from Vík í Mýrdal (or #Vik as it's usually known) on the south coast of #Iceland for #MeerMittwoch this week. A beautiful day in December 2018 with lovely views to the distant petrified trolls (or basalt columns if you prefer).

Standing on a jetty formed of large, dark boulders on a beach at the boundary where the water meets the sand, the view is partly out to sea, but mostly focused on the cliffs that come from the right side of view down towards the horizon, abruptly terminating in the centre of the image. The cliffs, like the sand on the beach that is just visible as a crescent curving away from near the viewpoint around and towards the cliffs, are dark rock. While the sky is mostly clear, except for a band of cloud on the horizon, the sun is obviously low in the sky and weak, lending everything little warmth and leaving the water near the viewer almost black. Seemingly on the horizon, although actually closer than that, out to sea a little way from the end of the cliffs, are jagged rocks jutting up, like the silhouettes of stalagmites or chipped teeth.

A wide-angle, low-view shot of the Giant's Causeway at sunrise. Hexagonal basalt columns fill the foreground, with smaller, broken columns receding into the distance towards a large cliff face. The sky is a blend of soft orange and yellow hues, with a few clouds scattered across the horizon. The overall mood is serene and dramatic.

A monochrome, medium-angle shot of the Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland. The geometric basalt columns, some standing upright and others fallen and scattered, fill the frame. Sunlight casts strong shadows, highlighting the unique hexagonal shapes and rough textures of the rocks. In the foreground, fallen stones are covered in patches of lichen, and a clear sky is visible in the top portion of the frame.

A close-up, sunlit shot of the rugged cliffs and striking basalt columns of the Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland. The distinctive hexagonal columns rise from the base of the hill, their geometric shapes contrasting with the rough, mossy rock face above. The sunlight casts dramatic shadows, highlighting the texture and detail of the geological formation.

A dramatic, wide-angle shot of the Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland at sunset. The hexagonal basalt columns fill the foreground, leading the eye towards the sun setting over the calm sea. The sky is a blend of vibrant orange, pink, and purple hues, with a fiery orange sun visible just above the horizon. The headland on the left casts a gentle shadow, and the sea reflects the soft colours of the sky.

Every time I notice those in various media, I am thinking «Yeah, basalt columns, how “original”!» And yet if I were to ever envision a fantasy world of my own, there would 100% be a location with those. I mean, they are almost too beautiful to be an actual real phenomenon, and it only makes sense to use these hexagonal beauties everywhere, taking creative liberties to create even more unreal structures with them.
