French was there too - Elephant Rock, Portrush

It really does resemble a pachyderm in so many details! A wonderful shot and French's shot is even more convincing!

I'm seeing many elephants - but at least they're in black and white and not pink.

I thought I knew that bit of coastline. Where is this formation? Is it west of Portrush (towards Portstewart?) or east of Portrush (towards Dunluce and the Causeway?)

@Shikari - they're basalt columns, formed when the liquid basalt rock hardened under unusual conditions. If you ever get the chance to go, you should - the Giant's Causeway (search on the internet for it) is a truly unmissable sight.....

i wish.... i wish i were an Irish.. no dont get me wrong... im proud to be a Filipino

We have columnar basalt in our area too, but I'd never seen it like its shown here (especially in the previous picture). Ours is located on the west side of the Columbia river near where highway 26 and I90 meet (Washington State, US).

Terrific sense of scale!

This is a gorgeous and thrilling set of photographs, but to clarify the title of this one: these are actually called The Cliffs Of Moher, in County Clare.

The Cliffs haven't changed in a hundred years - nice spot for a table and chairs to have a drink ( I think that's gone now ! )

LOC -- the original caption on the photo reads "Clare" -- not "Claire." So why even mention the incorrect spelling in the LOC title?

The Cliffs of Insanity!
