Smile on Saturday : Stacked
“The books transported her into new worlds and introduced her to amazing people who lived exciting lives. She went on olden-day sailing ships with Joseph Conrad. She went to Africa with Ernest Hemingway and to India with Rudyard Kipling. She travelled all over the world while sitting in her little room in an English village.”
Roald Dahl - Matilda

For Macro Mondays theme; "Stack". HMM!
Buttery crackers, pepper jack cheese, and a slice of summer sausage, makes a pretty good snack.
Macro Mondays 'stack' theme.
I tried several stacks for this theme, some were too big and some simply refused to stay stacked! I ended up with these little containers from the Trivial Pursuit game.

Discovering the macro world

These 60m sea stacks tower high above the ferocious and unpredictable water of the North Sea. It is a land truly carved by time and stands as a monument to the destructive power of nature in this part of the world.
Europe, Netherlands, Utrecht, Utrecht, Centre, Rabobank HQ (slightly cut from L & R)
The neo-modernist glass facade of the HQ (the 'old' part) of the Rabobank (Articon - Fichtinger/Bak, 1983). The blue reflective glass outer layer with its geometric patterns hides the load-bearing part of the facade - stacked and punctured concrete pre-fab slabs.
This is number 898 of the Minimalism/explicit Graphism album.
And number 203 of the Urban Frontiers - since this is the brutalized part of the old centre of Utrecht. During the development of this zone, even traditional waterways (grachten) were filled in and built over - it was a spectacular example of what in the day was called 'city vorming' (city creating). The choices of the time are deplored now and on some spots 'grachten' are being brought back.
It's taken me a while (well, two years actually) to get this photo as I like it... Epic place whatever the weather.

I stubbled across this beautiful cliff top scene whilst out on a coastal walk yesterday. It was a nice surprise to find these stacks sitting there, I never knew they existed!
Looking forward to capturing them again under some better conditions.
The Pancake Rocks can be found in the Putai area. Formed 30 million years ago from minute pieces of dead marine creatures and plants settling on the seabed about 2 km under the surface. The immense water pressure at this depth caused the fragments to solidify in hard and soft layers. Due to the seismic action in this area the limestone strata was lifted the above the seabed. Mildly acidic rain, wind and seawater slowly created the strange rock forms.
The town of Vik the Southernmost town in Iceland is famous for its black basalt sand and the imposing Reynisdrangar sea stacks.
Vik is definitely one of my favorite places to visit in Iceland not because the town has a great cafe that sells a wonderful bowl of lamb goulash but because it has so many photography opportunities on its doorstep. Just being able to walk the few hundred yards from the hotel to this beautiful beach and gaze at the majestic sea stacks is a real treat.
Thankfully the day we arrived the conditions were perfect with a nice pink glow in the sky as the sun began to set, unfortunately things went down hill rapidly thereafter as future photos will show!
