Another one from the wonderful Ballintoy, for this one I climbed up a very steep sea stack it was pretty dam windy up there so I had the tripod flat on the ground so this shot was taken lying down.

I'd been wanting to check out these stacks for a long exposure and finally went over there with my friend Chris and broke out the star machine.
Chris was featured this month on yahoo!'s Weekly flickr. Check it out here, you'll have to endure some ads first but it's well worth it. screen.yahoo.com/weekly-flickr-many-wonders-light-2224183...

The iconic and photogenic South Stack Lighthouse is located on the tiny islet known as South Stack Rock. The tiny islet is situated near the north west tip of Wales and lies separated from Holyhead Island, in Anglesey by 30 metres.
It is one of the iconic images of Anglesey, often appearing on brochures and web sites promoting the island. It is a popular visitor attraction, not only for the views of the coast and visits to the lighthouse itself, but also for the surrounding nature reserve, run by the RSPB, with thousands of seabirds nesting on the cliffs in the spring.
South Stack Lighthouse was first envisaged in 1665 when a petition for a patent to erect the lighthouse was presented to Charles II but the first lighthouse appeared in 1809. The lighthouse, erected at a cost of £12,000, was designed by Daniel Alexander and originally fitted with Argand oil lamps and reflectors.

South Stack is a tiny island off the north-western tip of Holy Island - itself an island off the north-western tip of Anglesey. It is joined to Holy island by a small suspension bridge for pedestrians, at the foot of a steep flight of 350 steps down the cliffs, and is crowned by a 90ft lighthouse, now automatically operated.
Not much time for photos today as some relatives from Australia are over visiting, quick grabshot of a stack at Noss Head.
I found these peppers in Grand Centeral Station and liked how they were so neatly stacked according to color, like someone really took the time to make them that way. I didn't really want to be there since my parents felt the need to drag me around -_- but I'm glad I got at least one somewhat-good image.

Part of a retired steel mill in our town. The location is now referred to as the "steel stacks." I happened to be nearby tonight.

Among the most impressive sights along the Jurassic Coast are the sea stacks at Ladram Bay. The sandstones contain numerous vertical fractures and joints that were formed deep in the Earths crust during past mountain building periods. The sea picked out these planes of weakness to form caves and natural arches that have since collapsed to produce sea stacks. The “Otter Sandstone” that forms the cliffs and sea stacks were deposited in a hot dry climates in the Triassic Period about 220 Million years ago. The stacks are composed of the same rock, which is relatively soft, but they have a harder band of sandstone at their base which prevents their rapid erosion by the sea. The striking red colour of the rock is caused by iron oxide, which tells us that the layers were formed in a desert. The presence of ripple marks and channels in the sandstones, together with the remains of the long-extinct plants, insects, fish, amphibians and reptiles, show that the desert was crossed by fertile river valleys.
The “Otter Sandstone” is the richest source of Triassic reptile remains in Britain and one of the most important in the world. At the south-west end of the bay, the most common fossils in the sandstone are networks of vertical, tube-like carbonate petrifactions (rhizocretions): these represent the roots of plants that were able to survive in the harsh dry climate of the Triassic Period.[2]
The bay is sited on the same band of Sandstone that forms the oil reservoir at the Wytch Farm oilfield on the Isle of Purbeck.
Another attempt at some astrophotography, but this time I used the university library to try give some interest or context to the scene. I probably should have waited until later to get a darker sky as I'm not too keen on the blue cast of the sky.
The remains of the small stack on Seaham's Blast beach - a few more years and it'll just be a lump on the sand.
