January...and back to work

Now that the holiday break is over, I'm back to work as usual. Christmas and the New Year went well. I'll be giving a full update later in the month, but until then, here are a few pictures covering the past few weeks.

Giant's Casueway.Formed either when Irish giant, Finn MacCool (no kidding), made a land bridge to Scotland to fight another giant, OR by volcanic activity and the rapid heating and cooling of the stones 62-65 million years ago. Take your pick. 

The North Coast, near Ballycastle. 

Jill Sanderson came to visit me over the break. Here she is in the Fall Road Memorial Gardens, inspecting the names of Catholic civilians who lost their lives in sectarian conflict. 

Glenariff waterfall. We visited here on January 1, 2005. 

This huge blue fish cost the city of Belfast a pretty penny, but it's quite a sight along the River Lagan.
