Shoreline Sea Stacks. Port Oxford, Oregon. August 20, 2013. © Copyright 2013 G Dan Mitchell - all rights reserved.
Giant shoreline sea stacks along the Oregon Pacific Ocean coastline.
As we traveled south along the Oregon coastline on the Oregon Coast Highway (US 101) we passed through various towns ranging from quite small to middle-sized. Eventually we came to Port Oxford, which did not seem to us to be all the exceptional of a place - though apologies to Port Oxfordians, who probably know the beauties of the place far better than some Californians quickly passing through! However, there was one interesting feature that immediately caught our attention. As the highway pass through the town it curves to the left to follow the coast. But at the point where the curve went left, a short section of road continued straight ahead to the top of a hill that appeared to overlook the coast, and a giant sign hand-painted on the roadway almost demanded that we leave 101 and see what was there.
Just over the top of this short side road was an open view of the coast to the south, curving inland right below the town to form a shallow bay. Slightly beyond this we could see a set of large sea stacks along the beach... but no picture in this particular light from our position. We continued on along the highway, curving through town and then back towards the south, and soon came to the spot where the sea stacks stood. Despite some tricky light, including wildfire haze and afternoon intense light, we paused to make a few photographs. First, a large group of pelicans surprised us by slowly flying by into the strong headwind and then landing almost directly in front of us at the waterline. Then I put a longer lens on the camera and went looking for an angle that would let me combine near and far towers with a bit of surf along the wild beach.

With the stacks, not only does the print help me decide what blocks to make, but the size of the repeat also plays a part. This fabric has a very small repeat, not quite six inches. Normally, I make my octagons with a 3.5 inch strip, but I can make them smaller with a three inch strip. Not quite enough here to get two, three inch strips, so I'll do one three inch strip for octagons and a 2.5 inch strip for stars. After I have some of each block made, I'll work on some kind of setting.
Using the three stacked fabrics, with two fabrics in each block is really fun! I like these because they look different but the same. The first column is horses and hats, the second is horses and boots and the third is hats and boots. I haven't decided yet if I'll trim these to octagons or hexagons...probably hexagons.

One of my newer Stacker bracelets. I just love the pewter button I used. I kept one for stamping clay.
Something I only do for astrophotography. Decided to get a couple of bloopers and merge them together. 3 seprate frames.
I stacked this before setting off on a 10 mile round-trip hike to the New Dungeness Lighthouse. I knew there were way too many little kids about for me to expect it to last long. It was well and truly scattered by the time we got back.

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.
This was a macro experiment in my home studio using natural light, a reflector, a vanguard tripod, and my 60mm macro attached to the 7d.
A few images from a recent visit to Stack Rock fort. It is testament to the skill of the engineers and builders of the day that the main structure is still in such good condition.
