With a protuberance large enough for only one turtle to find a place in the sun, these two apparently found a simple amicable solution.
Painted turtle (Chrysemys picta, Emydidae), probably the midland subspecies (C. p. marginata) or perhaps mixed with the western subspecies (C. p. bellii).

For Macro Mondays - Stack
Four small pebbles from the garden, standing 60 mm (2.4 inches) high with a width of 25 mm (1 inch).
Quite a challenge to stack one on top of the other, and get them to stay. Lit with a 24 LED work light from the right and a light backwash.
Happy Macro Monday!

Isn't it an obvious choice to combine random objects for a theme like "Stack"? Please say "Yes, it is!" :) When I was looking for objects I could stack for the new MM theme, I noticed two smaller chestnuts on my desk which I'd collected in autumn right in front of my house (It's kind of a ritual for me to collect a few of the first fallen chestnuts in front of my house). In Berlin, many streets are lined with trees of only one kind. My house is a corner house, and the entrance is on "chestnut street", while most of our windows look out to "lime tree street", just in case you were interested ;)
So there I had these two chestnuts, two fairly round objects (asteroid-"round", or Mars-moon-"round", one could say), and I wondered whether they are stackable. Stackable without little helpers such as modeling clay, because I wasn't sure if we were allowed to use such "hidden tools" for the theme. To my surprise, they were stackable, "gluelessly" :) But I still needed a third or maybe a fourth object. This was the point where "glueless" turned into clueless, and I picked random objects that would both keep my stack within the 3-inch frame and which also would be glueslessly stackable on top of the two chestnuts. At first, I thought of using the small golden crown which you've seen before as an MM prop, but it kept coming off. So in the end the "winners" were the fairy light "cuff" that I've already used for the "Star" theme from August 2022, and two small carnation blossoms, because... why not?
My image is a single shot taken in shadow priority mode. Light sources were one LED light equipped with the semi-transparent yellow bottle cap for some warm light from the left, and another LED light directed against the gold-coloured cardboard which I've used as a backdrop. That cardboard was part of food packaging, and it has an uneven, slightly reflective surface which created some nice bokeh. Processed in DXO PL6, Lightroom (where I did some masking on the chestnut stack to bring out more details), and in Analog Efex, where I used one of the "Subtle" film types (Fundy 2) and a slight vignette to add a vintage, matte touch to the image. Again, this is on the bigger side, the height of the stack is slightly more than 6 cm / 2,36 inches, and I've cropped the image so that the width of the frame meets the three inches rule as well.
HMM, Everyone!
This is the second building I photographed on my day downtown shooting architecture. It's called The Stack, and is near completion, but also still had construction fencing around the outside, so I could only get a straight up shot, but I really like these lines. It's Canada's first commercial high rise office building to receive a Zero Carbon award.

My dad always kept all of his spare nuts, bolts and screws left over from various projects. They came in handy now and then. I carried on the tradition when I got my own place. However, I never envisioned using some of the spares for photography! I had a box of these nuts that I haven’t used in years.
41 nuts make up this imperfect, nutty tetrahedron (3-sided pyramid).

This shot introduces a series, shot on my second eco-tour, via a turbo-charged twin-hulled speedboat, down the rugged east coast of Tasmania (Australia), from Port Arthur to the seal colonies in the South ... an amazing scenic ride and cool shots of seals upcoming!!
The series starts early on the day trip, with an awesome sunrise against the coastal cliffs and stacks. A few slides are featured... which may be interspersed or spaced out a bit with other images not featuring the eco-tour ones.
Sea stacks, by the way, are formed over time by wind and water in processes of coastal geomorphology. They are formed when part of a headland is eroded by hydraulic action: the force of the sea or water crashing against the rocks ... Eventually, erosion at its base especially, causes the stack to collapse, leaving a stump; a process well shown in this pic. :-)
Hope you enjoy the series. :-)

On the Engstligen Alp, Bernese alp cheese is produced in the traditional way. This means that the milk is heated over a wood fire, which gives the cheese part of its distinctive taste.

The Duncansby Stacks lie just off the shore of Duncansby Head on the most northeastern point of mainland Britain. These towering sea stacks are believed to have stood in this position for the last 6000 years, slowly eroding away due to the raw power of the North Sea.
Essai de focus stacking direct du boîtier à main levée mais avec l’appareil maintenu appuyé sur le mur. Dix prises empilées dans Photoshop. C’est d’ailleurs la seule chose que je sais faire dans ce logiciel car nous avons vu une démonstration récemment au club photo.
I tried focus stacking as my camera can do it. I chose 10 captures that were compiled in PS in post production. It’s about all I can do with PS by the way, having watched a demo at the photo club.

A weather system passes over the Elegug Stacks at dusk. The wind was blowing straight over my head towards the stacks as I took this shot. The sun was very intense here too and illuminating the cliff tops, but not the stacks below.
This is a remarkable headland in Pembrokeshire and there are so many photogenic features, Sadly with their positioning they do not make easy subjects at sunrise or sunset, but with weather conditions like this they still provide great subjects.
