The silhouette of the small stacked rocks reminds me so much of something, but I'm not sure what. A nativity scene? A Picasso painting?

South Stack Lighthouse, Anglesey.
South Stack is set in a spectacular location to the north-west of Holyhead. The lighthouse acts as a waymark for coastal traffic and a landmark and orientation light for vessels crossing the Irish Sea to and from the ports of Holyhead and Dun Laoghaire.
History of the lighthouse
In 1645 when lighthouses were privately owned, King Charles II was petitioned for a patent to build a lighthouse on South Stack. The request was refused. However, 143 years after the original petition, Trinity House leased South Stack island and construction of the lighthouse commenced. On 9 February 1809, the station's oil lamps, designed by Daniel Alexander at a cost of £12,000, were first lit. In 1828 an iron suspension bridge was built to replace the rope catwalk that originally linked the lighthouse to the bottom of the 400 steps down the cliff face.
This was one of the many changes that have taken place at South Stack since 1809. The lights regularly became more efficient and in 1938 electric power replaced the oil that powered the lamps. In 1964 the iron bridge was taken down and a new one of aluminium was put up in its place.
The lighthouse was automated in 1984, and the keepers withdrawn. Today, the lighthouse is monitored and controlled by computer link from Trinity House Operations Centre in Harwich, Essex.
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.
Evan's favorite thing to do in the pool this time was to stack these buckets with water in between and then push down.
The nearby trees have begun to show their fall color in Waterloo, Indiana, as an eastbound NS stack train glides through town on Track 2 of the Chicago Line. A few minutes later a westbound came through on Track 1.

I bought the bottom one and the top 3 on Ebay a couple weeks ago. Then today, at Goodwill, I found the 2nd from the bottom. I thought I had a complete set until I found it. So weird, of all the ones to find at Goodwill, it was that one.

this beautifully built stacked stone fireplace is actually an exterior fireplace that is part of a patio setting. What a great way to warm a cold winter night by just sitting outside wrapped in a blanket with your loved one and enjoying the flicker of firelight.
This is another one from Saturday taken at Castlemartin. I have to say I was extremely grateful there was no firing going on !! What amazing views.

Sweet little bunnies all stacked up... this necklace was another special order for a customer. What could be cuter!? :-)
Came off his scooter, my poor little man!! Couldn't resist taking a snap because I knew I had "sadness" to cover in ODC!! :)
Thought I'd try some image stacking, this is three individual shots, each with different exposures, but keeping the same aperture. Glad it worked out.
Just wish I had a little more water flow off the pool.
sorry
i made lots
i got up at 5.30am whilst on holiday one day to go to the cove and stack. The peace and tranquility was immense.
i built a set of 18 stacks in perfect alignment across the cove. unfortunately 18 sacks in a single line don't photograph well. they looked bloody brilliant though. as you walked in and out of the alignment you either saw one or a mass of stacks.
inspired by the master bebalance www.flickr.com/photos/rocker/sets/72157602341391436/ i tried counterbalancing stones. it made for more delicately balanced stacks.
i am going to upload the rest of the photos later. there are far too many but feel i have to put them all up.
CPKC 106 is passing MP 11 of the Vaudreuil Sub with single stacks and then racks behind the DP (CP 8825).
On the Canadian side near Skayway of Alaska, there are lots of these stacked rocks to greet your eyes.
A rock stack on the shore of Fårö island, Gotland.
These rock formations, known as raukar on Gotland, are formed over time by wind and water, processes of coastal geomorphology, the ones found on Fårö are up to 8 meters tall.
