The waterfall pic is incredible. BTT.
To: cogitator
The waterfall is awesome...Michigan has some nice ones but not that big...One summer we camped and visited most of them...Saw some big one's in Alaska also...
Those pic's are beautiful.......

It's really spectacular. It reminds me a lot of Morro Rock in Morro Bay, CA (which is not columnar basalt but has roughly the same appearance).
The Irish may be a little peeved with you for the typo feat of moving their cherished Giant's Causeway to Iceland though.

I have a particular fondness for columnar basalt: the geological formation found at Devil's Tower, the Devil's Postpile, Svartifoss waterfall in Iceland, New York's Palisades, Giant's Causeway in Iceland, etc. One letter off: The Giant's Causeway is in Northern Ireland.
Dr. Samuel Johnson famously described it as: "Worth seeing but not worth going to see."

Am I right? Yes. It's stunning. Thanks for posting these incredible pictures.
