Early morning at Cathedral Cove, Coromandel Peninsula.
A view of the Big Stack from the other side showing the outline of the amazing trees growing on top of the stack. How do they survive?

CN 327 has 30 intermodal platforms up front as it approaches Dorval with CN 2224 & IC 2724 for power.
Sadly this sea stack doesn't have a name of it's own. Maybe the locals have a name for it but there is not one on the maps.
I'm sure it's man made, the result of many years of slate mining.
Quite why they just left it as it is...
Maybe it was just to tough?
When the surf is up, I'm always drawn to the sea. Watching from a safe position is the key to the enjoyment. This image from the Jurassic Coast last week is so full of drama, texture, colour, movement and interest that I just love it. Looks amazing on my big computer screen.
A simple composition but still dramatic.

After meeting a southbound coal train in Page siding, a pair of KCS Belle GEVOs leads a northbound stack train out of Page, headed for Heavener.
I had to try to better extract and blend these fantastic strikes from my earlier attempt: www.flickr.com/photos/79387036@N07/36361203994/in/photost...
By cropping the image and selecting the best 7 images of this storm for contrast, I believe I achieved the right balance. Much more dramatic!
This storm was ~37 miles to my west.
Picture of the Day
A better angle on the stacks - with the sun bright due south at noon, I walked further down the coast beyond them and looked back up north instead.
“Walnuts have a shell, and they have a kernel. Religions are the same. They have an essence, but then they have a protective coating. This is not the only way to put it. But it’s my way. So the kernels are the same. However, the shells are different.” ~ Huston Smith
Huston Cummings Smith (May 31, 1919 – December 30, 2016) was an influential scholar of religious studies in the United States. He authored at least thirteen books on world's religions and philosophy.
South Stack, Anglesey, Wales
South Stack is an island situated just off Holy Island on the northwest coast of Anglesey. It is famous as the location of one of Wales' most spectacular South Stack Lighthouse (can be seen in the middle-top of the picture). The cliffs are 130m high in 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, South Stack is also famed for its plant life and one plant in particular, can only 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.
On the right top of this picture, Ellin's Tower can be seen that offers a grand view for those who come with telescopes and high-powered binoculars.
This 300x2s stacked image was lightened in Photoshop. Fire Skies are one of the best uses of this type of post-processing. In this equivalent 10 minute exposure a passing car looks like several cars as a result of these short two second interval,

Stack Rock Fort.
Dai the Drone was with me while I did some work down in West Wales. Took my lunch at the Sandy Haven Beach car park and Dai took a quick flight out to see the Fort just off the shore.
See in Dante Park, on the Upper West Side of Manhattan (opposite Lincoln Center), is "48," a sculpture by Sean Scully. It's part of an exhibition of seven sculptures along Broadway titled "Sean Scully: Broadway Shuffle." Each sculpture has been described as "a unique vertical stack composed from various configurations of metal, stone and wood." They certainly brighten up a rainy day in New York City.
