Oh wow, this place is beautiful! The volcanic rocks are sooo cool, the way they formed like that. Natural beauty is really its own very special thing to which nothing else can really compare.

Really loved the origin story about how the giants created that place. It's fascinating what sorts of stories us little carbon specks come up with to explain things. Of course now we know how it really happened, but... do we? Do you ever wonder if maybe we are still just coming up with some stories? Hehe.

I love all of these photos, as always it's just such a joy to look at everything you capture. I really dig all the rock pictures and especially the one of The Giant's Organ is so cool, I love that angle.... also this one where we are looking down over a cliff or something, I am a little light-stomached looking at it.... is it as high as it looks? Were you scared at all?

The Atlantic Ocean! I was mesmerized by its vastness and presence. I felt deep respect mixed with a tiny hint of fear and excitement of unstoppable nature forces, and the unknown lurking underneath the seemingly peaceful, deep blue surface. I love it even though it freaks me out at the same time!

Ah, the Ocean. An old frenemy of mine. Did you say hello for me?

I have not seen it for a few years now. I remember the first time I saw it, in my early teens and feeling all sorts of emotions. Seeing it disappear over the horizon and realising I was not even seeing any meaningful part of it at all. Young and desperate, feeling absolutely powerless against that thing. Knowing I'd do anything to cross it. Even with how beautiful it was, I hated it then. But there was still some magic in my life then, so I could not help but to feel its power and make its acquaintance.

A few years ago we met again. I was older; that chapter of my life had closed years before, and I was no longer bitter. I appreciated its magnificent vastness and beauty, and I think I did try to sort of "reconcile" with it or something... but the magic had long drained from my life by then. I was older now, an adult doing adult things, and the ocean was not the Ocean, it was only... the ocean.

It would be a few years before someone would remind me that this place is alive and there is magic here.

Knowing what I know now, I'd like to go visit it again soon... :)
