I spent a nice morning shooting the amazing rock formations at Duncansby Head near John O’Groats. It was cold and windy and threatened rain but worth it to get a nice patch of colour in the sky and a nice infusion of warmth as the sun finally rose.
I've always been a little jealous of West Coast photographers, with their coast and mountains that haven't been flattened by the extreme glaciation we experienced here in Maine. Things are just more dramatic out there. I had never seen a sea stack in Maine outside of Monument Cove in Acadia, so finding this hidden gem was pretty exciting. I photographed it before about a few months ago, but the light wasn't stellar and I didn't have a good composition. As things lined up for what promised to be a great light show yesterday afternoon, I planned to come back and shoot sunset here. My brother said he would come with me, so off we went.
We arrived with seconds to spare to get set up and catch the best light. As things started going off, Zander said he could get up on the pinnacle and model for me. I said sure, but there didn't seem to be a good way to get up. I offered to do it myself and have him press the shutter, but he said 'f' it and started to clamber up what was an insanely difficult rock problem. He made it, I tripped the shutter, and captured one of my favorite photos in a long time.

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.
The brightest members of the Geminids is depicted in this stacked image using GoPro10 wide field raw mode. The glow at right is from Cheyenne city lights, breaking dawn and the ~27% moon. Some high clouds can also be seen.
Activity appeared to pick up during the hour before nautical twilight began.
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.
