It’s always fun to land on another planet. The Burren in County Clare looks like the sort of place Christopher Nolan might have used for Interstellar (not pictured: Matthew Mahogany disturbing some books - sshhh, Matthew!) #burren #theburren #ireland #alienlandscape #rocks #rockformation #rock #geology #landscape #ireland #karst #clare #countyclare #interstellar #christophernolan #scifi #matthewmcconaughey (at Burren)
