Giant’s Causeway by Horia Bogdan

Name and legend fit because this expanse of stone columns, viewed from above, can easily be mistaken for a road paved by a giant. But geologists know a thing or two about natural structure of volcanic origin and they tell us a different story. They let us know that, about 50 million years ago, a large part of Northern Ireland and the West of Scotland were subjected to prolonged volcanic activity of the crust.

Spilling from long cracks in the crust, lava covered these areas with thicknesses of hundreds of meters. Cooling slowly and uniformly, the lava generated regular polygons of basalt in the more superficial layers, through a process of contraction — like the mud when it dries in the sun.
The surface cracks gradually deepened, dividing the entire thickness of basaltic rock in the stone columns. Then, when the wall rock surrounding these basalt formations were eroded by the activity of the sea, the entire columns came to light.

Anyway, they take the breath away.

beautilation:

“I’ll never forget the day Marilyn and I were walking around New York City, just having a stroll on a nice day. She loved New York because no one bothered her there like they did in Hollywood, she could put on her plain-jane clothes and no one would notice her. She loved that. So as we we’re walking down Broadway, she turns to me and says ‘Do you want to see me become her?’ I didn’t know what she meant but I just said ‘Yes’- and then I saw it. I don’t know how to explain what she did because it was so very subtle, but she turned something on within herself that was almost like magic. And suddenly cars were slowing and people were turning their heads and stopping to stare. They were recognizing that this was Marilyn Monroe as if she pulled off a mask or something, even though a second ago nobody noticed her. I had never seen anything like it before.” - Amy Greene, wife of Marilyn’s personal photographer Milton Greene
