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.

It's nearly 40 miles of descending 1.25% grade from Mountainair to Belen, NM on the Belen Cutoff. Near the middle of it, the tracks traverse the narrow confines of Abo Canyon to squeeze through the Manzano Mountains.
Here, a short stack train rolls westward at Scholle as it prepares to enter Abo Canyon behind me. Scholle was the end of double-track from the east prior to BNSF opening a second main through the canyon in 2011.

As the storm neared it developed this double and then triple stacked shelf cloud. The core was getting mean looking, it was green but had been turned yellow by the reddish setting sun behind the storm. COOL!
A tornado warned supercell passing by Burlington, Colorado. May 27th, 2018. One of the more unexpected, photogenic storms I've encountered.
Winter light on Scotland's north east coastline with one of the Duncansby stacks.
Despite the clear skies there was a rim of cloud along the horizon preventing me from capturing the best light.
I counted about 15 seals with cubs on an inaccessible stretch of beach at the bottom of the cliffs. It was great watching their interactions. I was disappointed to see a number of large polystyrene chunks and other litter surrounding them

Still more to stack to the left of the picture, but that's going up to the house. Love this new location. Always in the sun and made stacking rather nice since it was cold but I was in the sun all afternoon.

I was pleasantly surprised to see some traditionally stacked wheat yesterday - two large fields worth, a lot more hard work than a combine harvester... (although it could still be mechanised - just looks a lot nicer!)
A calm sea, low winds, and constant drizzle. As per the previous 'Coast' image , a short window of time to grab a few images with a lot of standing about waiting in between.

South Stack Lighthouse is built on the summit of a small island off the north-west coast of Holy Island, Anglesey, Wales. It was built in 1809 to warn ships of the dangerous rocks below.
The lighthouse has warned passing ships of the treacherous rock below since its completion in 1809. The 91-foot (28 m)-tall lighthouse on South Stack was designed by Daniel Alexander and the main light is visible to passing vessels for 24 nmi (44 km; 28 mi), and was designed to allow safe passage for ships on the treacherous Dublin–Holyhead–Liverpool sea route. It provides the first beacon along the northern coast of Anglesey for east-bound ships. It is followed by lighthouses, fog horns and other markers at North Stack, Holyhead Breakwater, The Skerries, the Mice, Point Lynas and at the south-east tip of the island Trwyn Du. The lighthouse is operated remotely by Trinity House. It has been visited by the team at Most Haunted.
Visitors can climb to the top of the lighthouse and tour the engine room and exhibition area. The lighthouse is open seasonally.
The lighthouse is paid for by a special lighthouse tax on ships
South Stack and other lighthouses in Wales are not paid for by the public but by a user-pays tax on ships called ‘Light Dues’. This is an annual rate paid by every ship that calls at a port in the UK and is based on the size of the vessel.
The rate is set by the government and paid directly to the General Lighthouse Authority, Trinity House, who manage hundreds of lighthouses and navigational aids across the country
The passing ferry is the Stena Line from Holyhead to Ireland.
