The first snow of the season has fallen at the highest elevations of the San Francisco peaks above Flagstaff in early October as Q LPCLAC6 passes through Maine on the western slope of the Arizona divide.
What's better than waking up to a stack of pancakes ? ...a stack of pandas of course !
Happy Mothers Day !
For a landbound tourist, a visit to South Stack Lighthouse is a jaunt down a well made path and over a bridge, and a small grumble over the £5 charge for the privelige of setting foot on the small island.
From a sailors point of view, the lighthouse marks one of the most terrifying of Anglesey's headlands. A big tide ripping one way, with a brisk wind blowing in the other can conspire to generate enormous standing waves resulting in memorably frightening passages.

This is my first go at stacking multiple images in Photoshop, using the 'mean' method, (7 images).
Given the conditions on the day, I'm really happy with the result I've achieved and I'm fairly close to the image I had pre-visualised.
There is plenty of room for improvement, but as a first step, I'm very happy with it.
Your comment and critique is most welcome!

Sea stacks and surf on an overcast evening, Crescent City, California.
The circumstances of this photograph were just a bit unusual, and it is not quite the photograph that I thought I’d be making when I recently visited the coastline at Crescent City. Because the days are so long right now, we decided to go out for an early dinner, planning to head back out into the field to photograph an hour or so before sunset. The plans was not totally solid, but I had this spot in mind as one of the possibilities, as it more or less in Crescent City. We finished dinner and it was still too early for the photography I had in mind, so we did a bit of exploring before we ended up back at this post.
I had photographed these very rocks a couple of years ago, and this time I was imagining something with sunset light, the colorful ocean and sky, and perhaps some dramatic shadows. The conditions had something else in mind. To the north a line of clouds was arriving, likely the result of a weak incoming cold front. When it became apparent that the brilliantly colorful sunset I imagined was not to be (though something else interest did eventually happen) I rethought the mood I wanted to suggest and began to see the appeal in this framing of the scene, focusing on the foreground island with the more distant sea stacks closer to the top of the frame.

saw a hole left by a rock falling out of the creek bank and thought it deserved a stack of stones

More cute little frogs from my SIL's place, stacked to look cheery with their funny grinning mouths. It took me several goes at stacking the frogs, they just didn't want to co-operate....

South Stack, Anglesey, Wales
South Stack is an island situated just off #HolyIsland on the northwest coast of #Anglesey. It is famous as the location of one of Wales' most spectacular #SouthStackLighthouse. The cliffs are 130m high on average. Standing here you can see sea traffic in the Irish sea between Belfast and Liverpool and Cardiff. The jagged rocks and monoliths at the base offer a spectacular view with shallow, emerald waters - and are as deadly should you trip and fall.
These #Precambrian cliffs are one of my favourite in the whole of UK, and are home to some of the most important sea bird colonies in #Wales. During June and July the sea cliffs here are packed with sea birds - mainly auks including puffin, razorbill and guillemot.
From the cliff tops here you can look down and watch the birds swimming, as they fly underwater in search of fish and sand eels.
During the breeding season up to 3,000 Guillemots and 700 Razorbills will nest here, precariously balancing their eggs on the narrow ledges.
You'll also find a small Puffin colony here and predatory Great Blacked-backed Gulls swooping down to grab chicks from any unattended nests.
Aside from the bird life, #SouthStack is also famed for its plant life and one plant in particular, can only be found here in the whole of Britain.
The plant in question is known as the Spathulate Fleawort and is a rather plain yellow flower, not dissimilar to a tall daisy with yellow petals. You'll find it growing along the edges of the sea cliffs, so tread carefully.
The badlands surrounding the Little Missouri River in North Dakota are a prime example of erosion's effects upon the various sedimentary layers and variably dense matierials contained within. Not only does one find different layers of sediment from the ancient sea that once existed here but also countless hoodoos and iron oxide-laden formations that were once embedded within softer materials that have long since eroded away. The cannonball concretions found in the north unit of Theodore Roosevelt National Park are good examples, formed thousands or even millions of years ago by pore water that moved in miniscule spaces, deposting various minerals that sometimes collected around a nucleus.

I've been experimenting with different features available in my Olympus E-M1X and a handful of the Pro lenses, one of which is focus stacking. While one usually sees this technique used for macro images, it can also be quite handy for landscapes, for it takes a series of images at different focus points and ultimately blends the image set into one image with a depth of field that far exceeds the natural range of a lens. I cheated and post-processed the resulting .jpg file that is stacked and saved in-camera in addition to the original .raw files. Working with such features seemed approriate on a rather gray day at the park this past week. (2-6-2024)
From onboard the Holyhead-Dublin ferry as it sails out from the Welsh coast, the South Stack lighthouse can just be made out in the distance.
didn't expect to ever be able to stack one of these
actually found two of these relatively not moving on a wall - this is one of them (and the wall)
This was taken on 1st September 2013 when I had the opportunity to pop over to Anglesey, North Wales to a location called “South Stack”. It is a 7x HDR image that was processed using photomatix and lightroom.

For me an excellent lens, it is sharp up to the corners.
Not bad for a lens from 1980.
A stack or sea stack is a geological landform consisting of a steep and often vertical column or columns of rock in the sea near a coast, formed by wave erosion. Stacks typically form in horizontally-bedded sedimentary or volcanic rocks, particularly on limestone cliffs. Stacks are formed over time by wind and water, processes of coastal geomorphology.
They are formed when part of a headland is eroded by hydraulic action, which is the force of the sea or water crashing against the rock. The force of the water weakens cracks in the headland, causing them to later collapse, forming free-standing stacks and even a small island. Without the constant presence of water, stacks also form when a natural arch collapses under gravity, due to sub-aerial processes like wind erosion. Erosion causes the arch to collapse, leaving the pillar of hard rock standing away from the coast - the stack. Eventually, erosion will cause the stack to collapse, leaving a stump. Stacks can provide important nesting locations for seabirds, and many are popular for rock climbing.
The stacks above are part of the world-famous Twelve Apostles in Port Campbell National Park, seen in glorious early morning sunshine. The Twelve Apostles are a collection of limestone stacks by the Great Ocean Road in Victoria, Australia. Their proximity to one another has made the site a popular tourist attraction.
This cicada was perched vertically on a cement wall, at the Montreal Botanical Garden. It had rained previously, which is why it was still a bit wet.

Another shot from Easter Monday....
this was taken from the cliff at Downpatricks Head, Ballycastle, Co. Mayo. My brother-in-law, Stephen, goes caving and knows all these wonderful and amazing places. So our family all packed 2 cars and headed off on an adventure tour along the west coast of Ireland :)
This huge rock with all it's different layers "stacked" (that looks a little like a dinosaur foot) was just off the coast, it was rather windy, so I thought it safer to lie on my stomach on the cliff edge rather than stand ;-)
Thanks for all the views, comments and faves :)
Sorry for a late upload today. Ran into some technical issues today and took me all day!
Happy Friday!
