I remember battling through them when I visited it, but I thought they’d closed the road to traffic? Because of the numbers of buses and coaches?

Local access only, but people sadly don’t care and do what they want. Like in all walks of life!

Such a shame because more trees will undoubtedly fall due to it all. I still fondly remember I was on the road while travelling to my hotel in Bushmills and not realising it was it at first, but my face at the end of the road would have been priceless to see

It really is so beautiful. It’s sad that each year we seem to lose a couple of trees for various reasons. I’ll always have my images to look back on with fondness. We can blame Game Of Thrones for a lot of its popularity!

Thank you Christoph. I have fond memories of our collective when I see this one. Reminds me of a time when I thought things were happening for us!

Yes, I remember it so well! Even though things didn't work out, I really enjoyed the community and meeting and getting to know amazing photographers like you. So from that point of view, that space was worth it!
