Collywell Bay at Seaton Sluice, Northumberland, contains a cross bedded sandstone sea stack known as Charley's Garden.
Brilliant! Shelley's crooked cake, conceived as a stack of doughnuts, with a coffee cup balanced precariously on top.
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
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!
CSXT 393, CSXT 461 & CN 4792 are the power on CN 327. Up front are stacks and mid-train is an empty rail train.
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!)
They lasted only a few minutes before merging into a wall of white and then Gray. I thought they were unusual. View large.
South Stack is famous as the location of one of Wales' most spectacular lighthouses, South Stack Lighthouse. It has a height of 41 metres (135 feet). It has a maximum area of 7 acres.
Until 1828 when an iron suspension bridge was built, the only means of crossing the deep water channel on to the island was in a basket which was suspended on a hemp cable. The suspension bridge was replaced in 1964, but by 1983 the bridge had to be closed to the public, due to safety reasons. A new aluminium bridge was built and the lighthouse was reopened for public visits in 1997. Thousands of people flock to the lighthouse every year, thanks to the continued public transport service from Holyhead's town centre.
There are over 390 stone steps down to the footbridge, and 10 metal steps (and not, as local legend suggests, 365), and the descent and ascent provide an opportunity to see some of the 8,000 nesting birds that line the cliffs during the breeding season. The cliffs are part of the RSPB South Stack Cliffs bird reserve, with a visitor centre, and bird hide at Elin's Tower. The tower provides a place to see Choughs, Peregrine falcon, Kestrel and various marine mammals like the Harbour porpoise seen at high tide, Grey seal, Risso's dolphin and Bottlenose dolphin.
Bnsf 8055 leads a stack into the siding at Elsberry Mo. Here the train would tie down and sit for the next 4 days before moving to Saint Louis. Bnsf Hannibal Sub in Elsberry Mo.
A 3:45am alarm, 4:00am departure, 30 minute drive, and a 30 minute slog along the cliff tops was all it took to be at the Duncansby Stacks before sun up.
I think it was worth it, there was some lovely colour in the sky, but a cold, biting wind made it very uncomfortable.
This was the final photo stop of a cracking weekend out with Carol (MrsR66), Steve (Stoates-Findhorn) and Russell (McRusty) - thanks folks, most enjoyable.

I photographed this wood stack on The Sleat Peninsula near Calligarry. The whole area used to be a big pine forest and all the trees had been cut down for timber, acres and acres of trees felled and piled up, it was quite sad to think that all these magnificent trees would be someone’s coffee table or bed frame next year. I really hope they plant more trees to replace them. We sneaked up the dirt track on a Sunday when none of the workers were around, really high up with an amazing view. When we passed the next day it was a hive of activity with loads of workers driving heavy plant machinery, and more trees falling. :-(
Sleat is a peninsula on the island of Skye in the Highland council area of Scotland, known as "the garden of Skye". It is the home of the clan MacDonald of Sleat. The name comes from the Scottish Gaelic Sléibhte (or Slèite), which in turn comes from Old Norse sléttr (smooth, even), which well describes Sleat when considered in the surrounding context of the mainland, Skye and Rùm mountains that dominate the horizon all about Sleat.
Sleat is a traditional parish that has several communities and two major landowners (the Clan Donald Lands Trust and Eilean Iarmain Estate). Sleat Community Trust (Scottish Gaelic: Urras Coimhearsnachd Shlèite), the local development trust, has purchased the Skye Ferry Filling Station at Armadale and in common with many communities is investigating the options for renewable energy production. It also owns Sleat Renewables Ltd., a timber production company. In October 2007 the Trust hosted the Highlands and Islands Community Energy Company annual conference. Recently the final section of a new double-track road through Sleat to Broadford was finished. Most teenage school-children in Sleat attend Portree High School, where there is a hostel for those who live particularly far away.

Flickr Friday Theme is "Stacked". Pretty boxes that are sometimes sentimental too and I cannot seem to part with.

A fantastic way to spend a Bank Holiday Monday - on Marsden beach, balancing rocks then letting your children knock the tower down by throwing stones at it. Simple pleasures...

This is the panoramic view from Ben Stack looking north across Loch Stack to the huge shapely lump of gray Quartzite that is Arkle. To the left of Arkle is the legendary Foinaven, and you can just see the top of Ben Hope peeping over the skyline just right of centre. It was a moody and changeable day, but to be in such an empty landscape was truly memorable.
Focus-Stacking mit jeweils 10 Pics, im Dauerregen (40 l/m²), die Schmucklilie hat`es gefreut!
Focus stacking with 10 pics each, in continuous rain (40 l/m²), the lily was happy!
Showdown Challenge Theme #2 - triangles.
Mikul is back for a rematch. Please write "I vote for ..." in a comment on the photo you choose as winner. Unless you are voting for him, then just tell me how nice this beach is! ;)
My son Sam and his sister, Emma, joined me over a long weekend roadtrip to the north end of the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State. Along the way, they both came up with triangle ideas and suggestions. But on our only good weather night I happened to be on Shi Shi Beach. Some of these sea stacks screamed TRIANGLE to me. Of course, the nice sunset doesn't hurt. LOL.
Here's Mikul's triangle photo. And please don't fall for his charm or underdog demeanour. He has tons of contacts and his photos get many, many views. Why? - because he has great skill at taking and processing images. I'm lucky to have him as a Flickr friend.
A former Burlington Northern Innovative Intermodal Service Gunderson Maxi I "Twin Pack" (Econo Stack / Twin Stack) set brings up the rear on this bare table on the BNSF Hannibal Sub. Now marked for the Northern Oklahoma Lines as NOKL 250025.
This is a “stacking” of 6 images at various focal lengths taken with my new macro lens. In addition I have purchased a new 4K monitor and its like night and day to my old monitor. Detail is incredible as well the colors seem to be spot on. I did process this towards the “high key” effect with a hint of color. I am satisfied with the results and like the effect of the depth of focus.
