これらのブナの木は、18世紀にスチュアート家が荘園に続く道を飾り立てるために植えたもので、互いに絡み合い、季節を問わず、不思議な空間を作り出している。
北アイルランドは1990年代末から、観光キャンペーンでこの道の画像を使い始めた。地元の人も観光客も「暗い生け垣」（The Dark Hedges）と呼ぶこの場所は、「ゲーム・オブ・スローンズ」の様々なシーンでも使われている。
この場所は、ベルファストから車で、アントリム海岸道路を北東へ約80キロメートル進んだところにある。
良い旅を！

Sahara Desert(02 of11)
Tassili n\'Ajjer National Park, part of the Sahara Desert, has a bone-dry climate with scant rainfall, yet it doesn\'t blend in with Saharan dunes. Instead, the rocky plateau rises above the surrounding sand seas. This image from 2000 was made from multiple observations by the Landsat 7 satellite, using a combination of infrared, near-infrared and visible light to better distinguish among the park\'s various rock types.

Hydrogen Sulfide and Dust Plumes on Namibia's Coast(03 of11)
Cloudless skies allowed a clear view of dust and hydrogen sulfide plumes along the coast of Namibia in early August 2010. Multiple dust plumes blow off the coast toward the ocean, most or all of them probably arising from stream beds. Unlike the reddish-tan sands comprising the dunes directly south of the Kuiseb River, the stream-channel sediments are lighter in color. Wind frequently pushes dust plumes seaward along the Namibian coast. (credit:NASA)
Islands of Four Mountains(04 of11)
The snow-capped volcanoes composing the Islands of the Four Mountains in Alaska\'s Aleutian Island chain look suspiciously like alien worlds in this August 2010 image from the ASTER camera aboard NASA\'s orbiting Terra satellite. (credit:NASA)
Sarychev Volcano(05 of11)
Astronauts at the International Space Station captured this striking view of the Sarychev volcano on Russia\'s Kuril Islands in an early stage of eruption on June 12, 2009. Sarychev Peak is one of the most active volcanoes in the Kuril Islands chain. (credit:NASA)
Arctic Eclipse(06 of11)
NASA\'s Terra satellite was rounding the top of the globe -- making its way from the eastern tip of Siberia and across the Arctic Ocean toward northwest Russia -- when it captured this unique view of a total solar eclipse on Aug. 1, 2008. In the area shown in the image, the sun was obscured for about two minutes. As Earth rotated, the shadow moved southeast across the surface. At the same time, the satellite crossed the Arctic with its path nearly perpendicular to the eclipse.\n (credit:NASA)

Massive Sandstorm(09 of11)
A massive sandstorm sweeps over Qatar as it races south toward southeastern Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates on Feb. 15, 2004. A major upper-level, low-pressure system over southwestern Asia led to a series of storms sweeping through the area. The crew of the International Space Station captured this image with a digital camera using a 50-millimeter lens. (credit:NASA)
Lake Naivasha, Kenya(10 of11)
Flowers grow year round in sun-drenched Kenya, and nowhere are they more plentiful than Lake Naivasha, shown here. In this view from space, bright white squares mix with fields of green, tan and purple along the shores of the lake. Sunlight glints off the long rows of glass greenhouses, turning them silvery blue and white. Fallow fields are tan and pink, while growing plants turn the ground bright green. Roses, lilies and carnations are the most common flowers grown in the greenhouses and fields scattered around the lake. (credit:GSFC / METI / ERSDAC / JAROS / NASA)
Cumulonimbus Cloud Over Africa(11 of11)
High above the African continent, tall, dense cumulonimbus clouds, meaning \"cloud heap\" in Latin, are the result of atmospheric instability. The clouds can form alone, in clusters or along a cold front in a squall line. The high energy of these storms is associated with heavy precipitation, lightning, high wind speeds and tornadoes.
