The "Bloody Foreland" didn't got it's name by the many ships that wrecked at the shore or some blooy battles that took place in the area, it's less dramatic... the name resolved around the red color the stacks appear in at sunset.

The What3Words address for South Stack Lighthouse is unrealistic.rates.skylights
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.
The lighthouse has warned passing ships of the treacherous rock below since its completion in 1809. The 91-foot (28 m)-tall lighthouse on South Stack was designed by Daniel Alexander and the main light is visible to passing vessels for 24 nmi (44 km; 28 mi), and was designed to allow safe passage for ships on the treacherous Dublin–Holyhead–Liverpool sea route. It provides the first beacon along the northern coast of Anglesey for east-bound ships. It is followed by lighthouses, fog horns and other markers at North Stack, Holyhead Breakwater, The Skerries, the Mice, Point Lynas and at the south-east tip of the island Trwyn Du. The lighthouse is operated remotely by Trinity House. It has been visited by the team at Most Haunted.
Visitors can climb to the top of the lighthouse and tour the engine room and exhibition area. The lighthouse is open seasonally.
The lighthouse is paid for by a special lighthouse tax on ships
South Stack and other lighthouses in Wales are not paid for by the public but by a user-pays tax on ships called ‘Light Dues’. This is an annual rate paid by every ship that calls at a port in the UK and is based on the size of the vessel.
The rate is set by the government and paid directly to the General Lighthouse Authority, Trinity House, who manage hundreds of lighthouses and navigational aids across the country
The passing ferry is the Stena Line from Holyhead to Ireland.

Bee found death. Hope people who shooting macro stacking dont go and kill or hurt the insects just because they want this type of stacking photo. Please choose natural way. Like macro please love natural.
A fantastic way to spend a Bank Holiday Monday - on Marsden beach, balancing rocks then letting your children knock the tower down by throwing stones at it. Simple pleasures...

South stack is a beautiful island situated just off the Holy Island off the North-west coast of Anglesey in Northern Wales. It is the home of the South Stack lighthouse that is one of the most spectacular lighthouses there is in the whole of Wales. There are over 400 stone steps down to the footbridge (and not, as local legend suggests, 365), and the descent and ascent provide an opportunity to see some of the 4,000 nesting birds that line the cliffs during the breeding season. The cliffs are part of the RSPB South Stack Cliffs bird reserve, based at Elin's Tower.
I had gotten here for my dusk shot however I had to wait for a few hours for that. I almost froze despite having a few layers on as it is one of the windiest locations that I had been to in the UK. The only other place where I struggled such is in the Needles in Isle of Wight. The wind is so strong that doing long exposures is especially difficult without holding down the tripod with some added weights.
The colours on display was simply brilliant and the cloud pattern was also unique. It was as if the clouds were emanating from the top of the lighthouse.

Thanks for viewing and have a nice evening!

This is a “stacking” of 6 images at various focal lengths taken with my new macro lens. In addition I have purchased a new 4K monitor and its like night and day to my old monitor. Detail is incredible as well the colors seem to be spot on. I did process this towards the “high key” effect with a hint of color. I am satisfied with the results and like the effect of the depth of focus.
Three sequential moving camera images (walking) were registered on a relatively stationary subject then stacked.
Pop artified version is here.
Integration signal to noise reduction (SNR) reinforces locally similar elements of the immobile subject, sharpening them, while weakening dissimilar background elements (e.g. elements out of register).

We did not walk down to the lighthouse due to an approaching storm.
They were everywhere.
"You've never seen so many chairs in one place... And yet, everyone is standing! This curious show is in the courtyard of the Coulanges Hotel, in which Tadashi Kawamata has made a home to exhibit his new eccentric installation, a monumental stack of chairs, which extends from the top of the building to the cobblestones of the inner courtyard."

Blickling Hall is a stately home which is part of the Blickling estate. It is located in the village of Blickling north of Aylsham in Norfolk, England and has been in the care of the National Trust since 1940. In the 15th century, Blickling was in the possession of Sir John Fastolf of Caister in Norfolk (1380–1459), who made a fortune in the Hundred Years' War, and whose coat of arms is still on display there. Later, the property was in the possession of the Boleyn family, and home to Thomas Boleyn, later Earl of Wiltshire, and his wife Elizabeth between 1499 and 1505. Although the exact birth dates of their children are unknown, historians including Eric Ives are confident that all three surviving children were likely born at Blickling - Mary in about 1500, Anne in about 1501, and George in about 1504. A statue and portrait of Anne may be found at Blickling Estate which carry the inscription, "Anna Bolena hic nata 1507" (Anne Boleyn born here 1507), based on earlier scholarship which assigned Anne a (now thought highly improbable) year of birth of 1507. The house of Blickling seen today was built on the ruins of the old Boleyn property in the reign of James I, by Sir Henry Hobart, Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas and 1st Baronet, who bought Blickling from Robert Clere in 1616. The architect of Hatfield House, Robert Lyminge, is credited with the design of the current structure. The Lord Chief Justice married Dorothy, the daughter of Sir Robert Bell of Beaupre Hall, Outwell/ Upwell, Norfolk, Speaker of the House of Commons 1572–1576. A grand display of heraldic material is present throughout the estate. During World War II the house was requisitioned and served as the Officers' Mess of nearby RAF Oulton. It was at this time that the house and its estate passed to The National Trust, under the terms of the Country Houses Scheme. RAF servicemen and women were billeted within the grounds in Nissen Huts, whilst RAF Officers were housed within Blickling itself. The National Trust has created the RAF Oulton Museum on site in tribute to the RAF pilots and ground crew who served in the Second World War, and this may be visited for no additional entrance fee. At the end of the war, the house was de-requisitioned. The National Trust again let it to tenants until 1960, when the Trust began the work to restore the house to a style reflecting its history. The house and grounds were opened to the public in 1962 and remain open under the name of "Blickling Estate". The library at Blickling Estate contains one of the most historically significant collections of manuscripts and books in England. The most important manuscript associated with the house is the Blickling Homilies, which is one of the earliest extant examples of English vernacular homiletic writings. The Blickling homilies were first edited and translated in the 19th century by Richard Morris (Early English Text Society os 58, 63 & 73) and there is a more recent edition and translation by Richard J. Kelly (Continuum, 2003). It is said that every year, on the anniversary of her execution, Anne Boleyn's headless ghost arrives at Blickling in a carriage driven by an equally headless coachman. But she hasn't lost her head completely in the afterlife—she carries it along with her during her hauntings. The exterior of the house was used as 'Maryiot Cells' at 'Maiden Worthy' in Buckinghamshire in the hit 1945 film The Wicked Lady. It was voted the most haunted house in Britain in a National Trust survey in October 2007. A house and garden existed at Blickling before the estate was purchased by the Boleyn family in the 1450s, but no records survive to give an indication of their appearance. After Sir Henry Hobart acquired the estate in 1616, he remodelled the gardens to include ponds, wilderness and a parterre. A garden mount– an artificial hill in Blickling's flat landscape, was made to provide views of the new garden. With the accession of Sir John Hobart (later the 1st Earl of Buckingham) in 1698 the garden was expanded to add a new wilderness and the temple was constructed. In the latter half of the 18th century John Hobart, 2nd Earl of Buckingham, embarked on works that would radically change the appearance of the gardens. All traces of formality were removed, and naturally arranged clumps of trees were planted to create a landscape garden. By the 1780s an orangery had been built to overwinter tender citrus trees. Following the 2nd Earl's death in 1793, his youngest daughter Caroline, Lady Suffield, employed landscape gardener Humphry Repton and his son John Adey Repton to advise on garden matters. John Adey Repton would go on to provide designs for many garden features. The estate was inherited by nine-year-old William Schomberg Robert Kerr, 8th Marquess of Lothian in 1840. He later re-introduced the formality and colour schemes of the parterre. After his death at the age of 38, responsibility for the gardens rested with Lady Lothian and her head gardener Mr Lyon. Philip Henry Kerr, 11th Marquis of Lothian, inherited the estate in 1930. After disparaging comments in a publication of Country Life, Lothian engaged socialite gardener Norah Lindsay to remodel the gardens. In the parterre she replaced the jumble of minuscule flower beds with four large square beds planted with a mixture of herbaceous plants in graduated and harmonious colours. Other improvements included removal of a line of conifers in the Temple walk, which were replaced with plantings of azaleas.

south stack lighthouse on Anglesey, the light was not great on this day so it will be fun to return here
Located on 1133 Melville St. near Burrard Skytrain Station, The Stack is set to become the tallest office building in Vancouver BC, at 530 ft tall, despite consisting of only 36 storeys.
Much of that has to do with the building's unique structure - designed by James Cheng Architects and Adamson Associates Architects - which looks like four boxes unneatly stacked on top of one another. Each box - that's what they're officially called - looks a bit different than the rest, on the inside and outside, and consists of less than 10 floors of office space, as well as one or two outdoor deck areas.

The power goes out at night or every time a cloud cover occurs because Leland's storage batteries aren't adequate. But, it's not a problem. Leeland hops on his bicycle, motors over to his portable generator and cranks it up.
The above story is fictitious except for the part about the power going out.
