This week Cee has challenged to bring Black & White to life in a big way by showing photographs of large subjects.

Now, I thought to myself when I saw the topic, “What could be larger than the Giant’s Causeway?”
According to legend the causeway was built by the giant Finn MacCool as a road to Scotland so he could fight the giant Benandonner there. The story tells us that Finn went to Scotland but when he saw how big Benandonner was he fled back to Ireland only to be followed by his Scottish enemy.
Finn knowing he was outmatched implored his wife Oona for help. Oona helped Finn by dressing him as a baby and sticking him in a cradle. When Benandonner arrived, the story goes, Oona explained that the “baby” in the cradle was actually Finn’s son rather than Finn himself. Now giant’s are not known for their intelligence, and so it would seem Benandonner was outwitted by Oona; So the great Scottish giant returned home destroying the bridge behind him, assured that if he was nearly outsized by Finn’s baby he would never be a match for the giant himself.
This is called the Giant’s pipe organ. It is said that on a windy night you can still sometimes hear Finn playing a tune for his dear wife Oona. And who would not play a tune for such an obviously intelligent woman?
