I spent a nice morning shooting the amazing rock formations at Duncansby Head near John O’Groats. It was cold and windy and threatened rain but worth it to get a nice patch of colour in the sky and a nice infusion of warmth as the sun finally rose.
A semi-abstract stack of coins (United States Quarters) at macro magnification, showing the rich detail of the aged copper and nickel that make up the coins.
Not everyone likes them but these small stacks dot the trails in Great Smoky Mountain Nat'l Park. Someone made an extra effort to stack these in the middle of Big Creek.
Thanks for your views, your fav's, and your comments. If you like this one, please check out the rest of my Blue Ridge pictures HERE
With thanks to my sister for taking this shot on my behalf. Since I was unable to go on the sand I directed her to set up and take this shot for me!
This image was shot in Bridlington a few weeks ago on the South Beach :)

This focus stacked macro image of a model railroad was created from 46 large raw files, blended in Photoshop. In order to be able to automate the photography to get a precise sequence of focused photographs under the control of my camera, I had to buy a new, electronically compatible macro lens (Nikon 105 mmf2.8 macro).
Sadly, my older Sigma EX 105 mm f 2.8 macro lens lacked the required electronics for this function. If anyone is looking for a terrific, used macro lens at a great price, please drop me a Flickr email. The lens is in perfect condition and produces sharp, high quality macros and doubles as a great portrait lens. You can see examples of the images I made with it in my flower and insect albums:

Just when you need a wide-angle lens you realise that you've only brought along the tele-zoom! Then I remembered my phone - I'm not a great fan of phone cameras but I had no other option. Even though I only have a budget smartphone I was very surprised at how well this turned out.
Note the precipitous edge about a metre in front of where I was standing. South Stack is definitely not a place for young children!
Best viewed large.
There are landmarks every landscape photographer wants to shoot, and Mobius Arch is one of them. The arch simply looks gorgeous with the ragged peaks of the Eastern Sierra in the backdrop.
A quick online search will reveal that most Milky Way nightscapes from Mobius Arch are captured from a lower and more westerly position than the famous daylight or sunrise shots. From this perspective, the arch still looks nice, but the view of the mountains is blocked by the surrounding rocks, making the composition less impressive. Unfortunately, the Milky Way core doesn't align with the Sierras behind the arch.
I shot Mobius Arch in this composition during previous visits but wasn't impressed by the results. That's why I tried to do things differently during my last visit in April 2022.
For this image, I captured Mobius Arch from its back side. From this position, the Milky Way bow perfectly aligns with the completely different but still nice-looking arch.
To my surprise, I haven't been able to find any images of Mobius Arch from this side, even though I was convinced that it has been shot from every possible angle thousands of times. If I really found a new perspective of this famous place, I entitle myself to give it a new, secondary name. For obvious reasons, I call it 'Sisyphus Arch'.

Someone (not me) had created over a dozen piles of pebbles and stones on the beach and fallen tree trunks. They make for some interesting shots I think :)
The South Stack Lighthouse is built on the summit of a small island off the north-west coast of Holy Island, Anglesey, Wales. It was built in 1809 to warn ships of the dangerous rocks below.

Just to keep things interesting, here is a photo of stacked lumber. This was like the tip of an iceberg as there were rows upon rows upon rows of these stacks, all the same height and as tall as trees! I've never seen lumber stacked like this and thought it was a great way to dry it out. The boards looked like 4x4 or maybe 6x6 boards. Hard to tell as my chauffer was not keen on slowing down much for photo ops! LOL
UPDATE: I did more research and found out these are stacked railroad ties! Interesting stuff. The Stella-Jones' treating facility in Goshen, VA of German-stacked, untreated ties

At 2AM, more thunderstorms moved through and woke me. So since I was up, I put in a fresh battery and kept the same setting from an earlier session then went back to sleep. This is what I captured. Five of the best compatible images were stacked and lightened in Photoshop.
The blue and orange discharge colors are part attenuation due to rain (acting like a filter) and part jpeg artifact.
...like 747 Heavies landing at O'Hare, these bees are attracted to the sugary solution in the hummingbird feeder for which it's meant. So far, no hummers. Not complaining though, since we suspect that the bees are far more endangered than those tiny birds, and without the bees, well, you know how that goes!
This is NOT a multiple exposure!
In case you didn't know: Bees produce honey by collecting nectar, a clear liquid consisting of nearly 80 percent water and complex sugars. The collecting bees store the nectar in a second stomach and return to the hive, where worker bees remove the nectar. The worker bees digest the raw nectar for about 30 minutes, using digestive enzymes to break down the complex sugars into simpler ones. Raw honey is then spread in empty honeycomb cells to dry, reducing its water content to less than 20 percent. When nectar is being processed, honey bees create a draft through the hive by fanning with their wings. When the honey has dried, the honeycomb cells are sealed (capped) with wax to preserve it.
