South Stack, Anglesey, Wales
South Stack is an island situated just off #HolyIsland on the northwest coast of #Anglesey. It is famous as the location of one of Wales' most spectacular #SouthStackLighthouse. The cliffs are 130m high on average. Standing here you can see sea traffic in the Irish sea between Belfast and Liverpool and Cardiff. The jagged rocks and monoliths at the base offer a spectacular view with shallow, emerald waters - and are as deadly should you trip and fall.
These #Precambrian cliffs are one of my favourite in the whole of UK, and are home to some of the most important sea bird colonies in #Wales. During June and July the sea cliffs here are packed with sea birds - mainly auks including puffin, razorbill and guillemot.
From the cliff tops here you can look down and watch the birds swimming, as they fly underwater in search of fish and sand eels.
During the breeding season up to 3,000 Guillemots and 700 Razorbills will nest here, precariously balancing their eggs on the narrow ledges.
You'll also find a small Puffin colony here and predatory Great Blacked-backed Gulls swooping down to grab chicks from any unattended nests.
Aside from the bird life, #SouthStack is also famed for its plant life and one plant in particular, can only be found here in the whole of Britain.
The plant in question is known as the Spathulate Fleawort and is a rather plain yellow flower, not dissimilar to a tall daisy with yellow petals. You'll find it growing along the edges of the sea cliffs, so tread carefully.
Back in the days when the only suspense on Union Pacific was how many SD40-2 locomotives would be on the train and how clean they would be, an APL stack train negotiates Williams Loop on the former Western Pacific. We're about five miles east of Quincy, California.
A westbound CSX intermodal train crosses the Wheeling and Lake Erie Hartland Subdivision in Wellington, OH while a manifest train passes beside them.
The Greenwich Subdivision is almost completely guarded by Conrail era trilights like the ones seen on this triple track bridge. The triple headed signal guards the Wheeling and Lake Erie connector seen just beside me as well as the storage track beside the connector that CSX uses randomly.
taken 30 minutes before the previous shot ,gulls hunting for mice and voles on the high spring tide ,i like the way my lens has captured them all in focus at 600mm ,never ceases to surprise me

Evening trains are starting to stack up from the east outside the Clewiston Mill. Here just outside the mill GP16 307 leads 4 cars of misc freight from the line towards Belle Glade and is the second train in line creeping towards the mill. A Bryant turn has just pulled into the mill behind me, the 307 will soon follow with the 406 and it's small cane train to be the third and final train in this parade.
didn't expect to ever be able to stack one of these
actually found two of these relatively not moving on a wall - this is one of them (and the wall)
Just playing with some focus-stacked macro shots of plants and flowers here. Incredible amounts of detail in some these - if nothing else, it was fun experimenting bit with these and my home-made backgrounds and window light.

Sea stacks and surf on an overcast evening, Crescent City, California.
The circumstances of this photograph were just a bit unusual, and it is not quite the photograph that I thought I’d be making when I recently visited the coastline at Crescent City. Because the days are so long right now, we decided to go out for an early dinner, planning to head back out into the field to photograph an hour or so before sunset. The plans was not totally solid, but I had this spot in mind as one of the possibilities, as it more or less in Crescent City. We finished dinner and it was still too early for the photography I had in mind, so we did a bit of exploring before we ended up back at this post.
I had photographed these very rocks a couple of years ago, and this time I was imagining something with sunset light, the colorful ocean and sky, and perhaps some dramatic shadows. The conditions had something else in mind. To the north a line of clouds was arriving, likely the result of a weak incoming cold front. When it became apparent that the brilliantly colorful sunset I imagined was not to be (though something else interest did eventually happen) I rethought the mood I wanted to suggest and began to see the appeal in this framing of the scene, focusing on the foreground island with the more distant sea stacks closer to the top of the frame.

Even though this was shot at f/8, both the wildflowers a few feet from me and the mountain dozens of miles from me are in focus. How? Click here to find out: traveljapanblog.com/ashland/2014/03/my-first-not-entirely...
Smelter Stack in Anaconda, MT. Known as one of the largest free standing brick structures in the world at 555 feet tall. The smoke stack was built by the Anaconda Copper Company in 1919 and were closed in 1980. The Smelter stack was registered with the National Register of Historic Places and is now a part of the Anaconda Smoke Stack State Park.
A Macro Mondays submission on the topic 'Redo". A redo of my original "stacks" image of forks, this time from the other end.

NS 282 flies up the mainline as the DPUs of NS 712 whine in full dynamics slowing the train as the two trains travers CP Green on the Atlanta North District.
When I arrived at this field the area was pitch black. When the sun's light first appeared, hay stacks dotted the landscape and were the first to greet me.
I spent six hours yesterday on Conception Bay, most of the time in a Zodiac with my wife, her sister and brother and their spouses. It was a fine day to be on the water. We circled the largest island in the bay, Bell Island. Among its many attractions are these, at the southern end. If you look closely, you can see a small motorboat about a third of the way from the left side. I would guess the stacks are about 60 metres tall.
