Giant's Causeway postcard is by North East artist Emily Ward from her art portfolio of Northern Ireland.
The impressive basalt columns in Emily's painting are covered with vibrant shades of pinks and orange. You can imagine striding out over the stepping suns towards the jaggered cliffs.
Delicate tones of pink and yellow swirl through the cloud filled sky adding a touch of mystery to this magical art postcard.

Giant's Causeway
The Giant's Causeway
is situated at the foot of the basalt cliffs located in County Antrim on the north coast of Northern Ireland. The Giant's Causeway is an area with about 40,000 interlocking basalt columns, which are the result of an ancient volcanic fissure eruption. Formed 60 million years ago it is a UNESCO
World Heritage Site.
The setting is a spectacular, dynamic coastal landscape of Atlantic waves, rugged cliffs, fascinating geographical antiquity, secluded bays and magnificent views.
Legend and local folklore give the causeway it's powerful name. It is said to be the work of giants. Home to Irish giant Finn MacCumhaill, he built it as a path to use as stepping stones to reach the island of Staffa in Scotland and his enemy the Scottish giant Benandonner. Benandonner reacted to this and ripped the path up which resulted in Giant's Causeway.
