Dark Hedges (Black and White)
Dark Hedges, Bregagh Road
Ballymoney.
This beautiful avenue of beech trees was planted by the Stuart family in the eighteenth century.
It was intended as a compelling landscape feature to impress visitors as they approached the entrance to their Georgian mansion, Gracehill House.
Two centuries later, the trees remain a magnificent sight and have become one of the most photographed natural phenomena in Northern Ireland.
I took a fair few photographs there, and could not decide whether I liked colour, or black and white better, so I posted both on flickr. Dark hedges has been used as a setting for the popular television series, Game of thrones.
