Rural landscapes: the dance of autumn
THE DARK HEDGES, COUNTY ANTRIM, NORTHERN IRELAND
In about 1775, James Stuart built a new house, named Gracehill House after his wife, Grace Lynd. More than 150 beech trees were planted along the entrance road to the estate, creating an imposing approach.
The avenue became super popular after it was featured in an episode of the TV series Game of Thrones. Since then, the road has been closed to traffic.
During our recent Ireland/UK/France vacation, I had time to enjoy the road and visitors like this couple. It was sheer coincidence that my camera was ready to go when the woman did a spontaneous dance move.
