Ballintoy, Northern Ireland, UK

The rope bridge was originally slung across the chasm for the convenience of salmon fishermen. Today, tourists come to see it.  But, the coastal geomorphology is more interesting to some of us. Look at the angle of approaching wave fronts, the wave-energy shadow, and the tombolo that just can't quite fill in the gap between island and mainland. [2009]
