Picture of the Day
A sea stack is a large stack of rock in the sea that looks like a tall stone tower, separated from the main shoreline. They can occur wherever there is a water body and a cliff. Sea stacks can be found on all seven continents, and each highlights a subtle difference in how they are formed. Famous examples exist everywhere from Australia to Ireland, Iceland, and Russia. Some of them are long and flat, while others are tall, thin, and pointed.
Coastal erosion or the slow wearing of rock by water and wind over very long periods of time causes a stack to form. All sea stacks start out as part of nearby rock formations. Over millennia, wind and waves break the rock down. The force of the two creates cracks in the stone, and, little by little, cracks become chips, which fall off the main rock.
When enough chips fall off, holes are created that extend from one rock outcrop side to the other. Eventually, the wind and water break through to the other side, creating a cave or arch. Over many more generations, this arch also falls away, separating one part of the rock from the original cliff, resulting in the sea stack.

Just when you need a wide-angle lens you realise that you've only brought along the tele-zoom! Then I remembered my phone - I'm not a great fan of phone cameras but I had no other option. Even though I only have a budget smartphone I was very surprised at how well this turned out.
Note the precipitous edge about a metre in front of where I was standing. South Stack is definitely not a place for young children!
Best viewed large.

To find wild, rugged landscapes where very few people explore you don’t need to leave the UK. Just head north, about as far as you can go.
Think about the numbers; there are 10 million people living inside the M25, an area about the same size as the Isle of Skye on the West Coast of Scotland. In all of Scotland there are only 5.5 million people and 3.5 million of these people live in the central belt. Around the coast of the far north of Scotland you are in for a rare treat. Endless sea cliffs with amazing rock in a wild landscape - with nobody else around for miles - offering as much adventure as you’ll ever need. And then there’s the sea stacks to make it even more fun!
Bread stacked on roast beef on emmantal cheese on bread, with butter and mustard layered in-between. And very nice it was too!
Not everyone likes them but these small stacks dot the trails in Great Smoky Mountain Nat'l Park. Someone made an extra effort to stack these in the middle of Big Creek.

These termite mounds are only a few minutes from my Dundee Beach block in the Northern Territory of Australia. I captured this image using the focus stacking app on my Nikon D850, it consists of 17 images that I rendered using Helicon Focus 7 software.
This sea stack is at Downpatrick Head, County Mayo and is on the Wild Atlantic Way. We drove part of this route last week and will be going back for more in the not too distant future.
