Elephant Seals spend a great deal of their time lounging on beaches, often lying on top of each other. These are young males that haven't quite developed their enormous proboscis, nor their fighting spirit. They are the largest pinniped in the world, even larger than Walrus, which is pretty big. They were on the beach at St Andrews Bay on South Georgia.
Went for a wander near Stanley today and took a wrong turn to where I intended going to, but found this nice and simple composition which was in my opinion, crying out to be photographed. A very pleasant early autumn afternoon!
Stacked paper kites at the kite bazaar which is doing a bustling trade for the Uttarayan Kite Festival.
Appeared in the lead story in the Guardian Weekly on January 14, 2008 alongside an interview I did with renowned local kite-maker Salim Rasulbhai Patang-Wallah.
Dessert is always the most discussed topic when food choices come up now that we have our girl. She does love some sugar!
A better angle on the stacks - with the sun bright due south at noon, I walked further down the coast beyond them and looked back up north instead.

Railroad ties are stacked in a corner of a parking lot for the New London (Ohio) town reservoir as an eastbound CSX coal train passes in the background. I'm not sure why these ties were stacked here.
Love the way the handle follows the unpredictable profile of the steps at the South Stack light house.
This is 50 focus-shifted photos and 'Focus-Merged' combined in Affinity Pro. I've done a few now and I'm getting the hang of it. This was taken in the garden with the wind blowing a bit and also insects landing on the flower part way through the stack.

American actor Robert Stack (1919-2003) became a star as Deanne Durbin's young lover in Henry Koster's First love (1939). After the war, he had massive success with Douglas Sirk's drama Written on the Wind (1956) for which he was nominated for the Oscar. Internationally, he became famous as Elliot Ness in the TV series The Untouchables (1959-1963).
Robert Stack was born Charles Langford Modini Stack in Los Angeles, in 1919. His first name, selected by his mother, was changed to Robert by his father, a professional soldier Robert was the grandson of Marina Perrini, an opera singer at the Scala theatre in Milan. When little Robert was five, his father was transferred to the US embassy in France. Robert went to school in Paris and learnt French rather than his mother tongue. At 11, he returned to America, and at 13, he became a top athlete. His brother and he won the International Outboard Motor Championships, in Venice, Italy, and at age 16, he became a member of the All-American Skeet Team. He played polo, saxophone and clarinet at Southern California University. A broken wrist ended his career as a sports athlete. He took drama classes and made his stage debut at 20. He joined Universal Studios in 1939. In his first film, he starred as Deanne Durbin's young lover in First love (Henry Koster, 1939). He gave the teenage film star her first on-screen kiss. Around this "event," Universal producer Joe Pasternak provided a lot of publicity. Stack established himself as an actor and the following year he appeared as a young Nazi in The Mortal Storm (Frank Borzage, 1940) alongside Margaret Sullavan and James Stewart. Stack was reunited with Durbin in Pasternak's musical Nice Girl? (William A. Seiter, 1941). In 1942 he appeared as a Polish Air Force pilot in Ernst Lubitsch's comedy To Be or Not to Be (1942) starring Carole Lombard and Jack Benny. The plot concerns a troupe of actors in Nazi-occupied Warsaw who use their acting abilities to fool the occupying troops. The film has become recognised as a comedy classic. Stack played another pilot in Eagle Squadron (Arthur Lubin, 1942), a huge hit. Then Stack's career was interrupted by military service. He did duty as a gunnery instructor in the United States Navy during World War II.
After World War II, Robert Stack continued his career. He returned to the screen with roles in films such as Fighter Squadron (Raoul Walsh, 1948) with Edmond O'Brien and A Date with Judy (Richard Thorpe, 1948) with Elizabeth Taylor. In 1952 Stack starred in Bwana Devil (Arch Oboler, 1952), the first major film production in 3D. He played the second leading role alongside John Wayne in William A. Wellman's aviation drama It's Always Day (1954). Sam Fuller cast him in the lead of House of Bamboo (1955), shot in Japan. Stack enjoyed one of his greatest successes with Douglas Sirk's drama Written in the Wind (1956). He received an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor for his portrayal of the alcoholic playboy Kyle Hadley. From the late 1950s Stack turned increasingly to television. Internationally, Robert became famous with his role in the television series The Untouchables in which he starred as the clean-cut Chicago police officer Eliot Ness during the Prohibition era. Around 120 episodes were made between 1959 and 1963. Other leading roles followed for Stack in the television series The Name of the Game (1968-1971), Most Wanted (1976) and Strike Force (1981). The multilingual Stack also took the lead role in the German-language film Die Hölle von Macao/The Hell of Macau (James Hill, 1966) alongside Elke Sommer, and he also appeared in French- or Italian-language productions. With advancing age, Stack also frequently took on deadpan comedy roles that lampooned his dramatic on-screen persona in films such as 1941 (Steven Spielberg, 1979), Airplane! (Jim Abrahams, David Zucker, Jerry Zucker, 1980) or Caddyshack II (Allan Arkush, 1988). Between 1987 and 2002 he was the host of the television series Unsolved Mysteries, which was dedicated to mysterious murder cases. He worked as an actor until his death. In 1956 he married actress Rosemarie Bowe (1932-2019), to whom he was married until the end of his life. The couple had two children. Robert Stack died of pneumonia in 2003 in Beverly Hills at the age of 84 and was buried in Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery.

Hi Guys! I miss Flickr, I've been out taking as many pics as I can of Fall color before it goes away. Last night, I imported more pics in Lightroom and my computer told me my Hard Disk space is almost full. yikes! It didn't come at a good time either because I just ordered the full version of Photoshop and am getting it tomorrow. I need all the extra space I can get! TIme to do a ton of deleting...the "not-so-fun-part" of photography.
Anyway, I've always loved pics of stacked food on flickr like cookies, etc. I didn't have any cookies so thought I'd try crackers.
I'll be around soon to see your streams.

Among the natural rock formations, there is stonework that was carried out by convicts who cut and stacked the stone blocks to build the pathways.
