Haystack is a very common post harvest scene in most part of the world. However it has only recently appeared on the local landscape, so I suspect we'll be seeing more of these soon. Btw these are dried cane leaves.

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.
So here is my 1st focus stacking test in 2014 :D
I didn't noticed the insect when I did it

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...

Last weekend we went to South Stack on Anglesey. The area is an RSPB reserve where many seabirds can be seen nesting on the cliffs. The small island is reached by a bridge and tours allow visitors to climb to the top of the lighthouse.
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.

Another shot from my recent holiday, this is a view of the amazing lighthouse at South Stack on the north coast of Anglesey (Wales). There was a howling wind and it was extremely cold but it was an amazing site to see!!

Not much time for photos today as some relatives from Australia are over visiting, quick grabshot of a stack at Noss Head.
They're stacked up like they are unwanted and to be discarded... Doesn't he know I'm totally starving right now and could use a slice?!?
This circular brick wall is the same size as the top of the Anaconda Stack. The walkway I'm on is the size of the base of the stack.

Five locomotives lead this eastbound stack train up the grade near Cajon Summit.
An unique building on the corner of Stewart St. and 1st Avenue in Seattle, where the upper floors do not quite line up. Interesting design choice.
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.
