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.
Having a bit of creative fun, I stacked 130x2 second images and lightened in PhotoShop 6.0. Unlike my previous examples: www.flickr.com/photos/79387036@N07/albums/72157689221737561, these clouds seemed to be moving in many directions over this 4.3 minute interval.
Anyway, I thought the pattern was an interesting abstract and worth uploading. :-)
South Stack is famous as the location of one of Wales' most spectacular lighthouses, South Stack Lighthouse. It has a height of 41 metres (135 feet). It has a maximum area of 7 acres.
Until 1828 when an iron suspension bridge was built, the only means of crossing the deep water channel on to the island was in a basket which was suspended on a hemp cable. The suspension bridge was replaced in 1964, but by 1983 the bridge had to be closed to the public, due to safety reasons. A new aluminium bridge was built and the lighthouse was reopened for public visits in 1997. Thousands of people flock to the lighthouse every year, thanks to the continued public transport service from Holyhead's town centre.
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.
The Anglesey Coastal Path passes South Stack, as does the Cybi Circular Walk. The latter has long and short variants; the short walk is 4 miles long and takes around two hours to complete. Travelling from the Breakwater Country Park, other sites along the way are the North Stack Fog Signal station, Caer y Tŵr, Holyhead Mountain and Tŷ Mawr Hut Circles.

Looking up at the Baker Hotel in Mineral Wells, Texas from the circle drive around back. Shot in November 2008.
For more information or images (inside and out) on this decaying Texas landmark, see my Baker Hotel Set Page.
Looking at this image now, I'm struck by how similar the ambient lighting here is to the lighting at the Michigan Central Depot in Detroit, Michigan. The lower portion of the building illuminated by the greenish mercury vapor light, the upper floors lit with the more orangish/yellow of sodium vapor light.
Gotta go large on black with this one...
Night, full moon, ambient mercury and sodium vapor light, blue-gelled strobe.

I am an old dawg trying to learn new tricks...I have owned my GFX100S for a year and have never tried focus stacking...geez....so, this image is nothing but, stacked the images and then experimented with the ON1 Sky Replace feature....I add the moon (brush) first, mask the edges on the mountain ridge and then apply the sky effect.
