July Challenge - MINIMALISM
Giants Causeway at Sunset -- Both of these feature the strange rock formations at the Giants Causeway in Bushmills Ireland. They were taken near sunset which, aside from golden hour light, brings out the details of the slabs

I really like the first one. The light falling on the rocks is perfect.
Thank you! Seems a better fit for minimalism, but I thought the second explained what it is better
Lovely shots Steven.
I especially enjoy the dramatic mood in the first but appreciate the multiple layers in the second.
The second, as you say, does allow the viewer to see the overall scene, which I feel is helpful to others.
Thanks for posting, I look forward to seeing more.
I love that second one - bottom "path" of light like the mirror reflection of the sun above. Nice work. These are really interesting rock formations.
Thank you so much! Hard to resist shooting a good sunset when it happens. A strange thing about the formation is that these are just the tops. They form long columns, sometimes at angles. And the whole area is full of them
Only a single person?!?!
A dear friend of mine made it a special stop on his two week adventure photographing Scotland and Ireland, and apparently he arrived about 15 minutes after two buses full of camera toting tourist.
Is this two separate photographs of a crop of a single? It appears to be two to my eyes.
Great job Steven and thank you for sharing.
Thank you, and yup, these are two shots, but from roughly the same spot. I included the second partly to give some context. We were there in May, a bit before the summer rush. But we did encounter the bus tours at a couple spots. We stayed at the Causeway Hotel for a couple days, which also gave us enormous flexibility there
