When you do a lot of travel photography, you arrive at the places you arrive when you arrive at them. And it may not be the optimal time to photograph the subject you are standing in front of, but you take what you can get because it is likely to be the only time you pass before said subject.
The Londrangar Sea Stacks, on the south side of the Snaefellsnes peninsula, were such a subject. We were mostly shooting into the sun by the time we arrived and while this clearly was an amazing vantage point, on the edge of the Atlantic, I could only imagine it at sunrise or sunset. And yet that is what I will have to make do with until I return to Snaefellsnes one spring day with something less than 21 hours of daylight. It will have to do...
Limpets, Crepidula fornicata with alga growing off of oldest shell in stack (and a little black high spired snail living on the alga). Found on the beach, along with many other similar stacks of limpets with the same alga and the same little black snail.

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 400 stone steps down to the footbridge (and not, as local legend suggests, 365), and the descent and ascent provide an opportunity to see some of the 4,000 nesting birds that line the cliffs during the breeding season. The cliffs are part of the RSPB South Stack Cliffs bird reserve, based at Elin's Tower.
The Anglesey Coastal Path passes South Stack, as does the Cybi Circular Walk. The latter has long and short variants; the short walk is 4 miles long and takes around two hours to complete. Travelling from the Breakwater Country Park, other sites along the way are the North Stack Fog Signal station, Caer y Tŵr, Holyhead Mountain and Tŷ Mawr Hut Circles.

Been dragging my feet on editing some of these because the negatives are streaky and will take a while to fix given that my computer is old and slow.
Here is one such image. Instead of obsessing over removing every single fleck of dust, I just did a "good enough" pass. So there may still be some defects here.

This water was ice cold but I got so into what I was doing that I was calf deep in it for well over an hour.

Somebody must have spent several hours building this incredible rock tower in the middle of the Poudre River last weekend. I didn't expect to see something like this, and didn't have the equipment with me to do it justice. By the time I came back at the end of the day, it was gone. Cache La Poudre Canyon, Northern Colorado. September 2008.

South Stack Lighthouse, Anglesey.
South Stack is set in a spectacular location to the north-west of Holyhead. The lighthouse acts as a waymark for coastal traffic and a landmark and orientation light for vessels crossing the Irish Sea to and from the ports of Holyhead and Dun Laoghaire.
History of the lighthouse
In 1645 when lighthouses were privately owned, King Charles II was petitioned for a patent to build a lighthouse on South Stack. The request was refused. However, 143 years after the original petition, Trinity House leased South Stack island and construction of the lighthouse commenced. On 9 February 1809, the station's oil lamps, designed by Daniel Alexander at a cost of £12,000, were first lit. In 1828 an iron suspension bridge was built to replace the rope catwalk that originally linked the lighthouse to the bottom of the 400 steps down the cliff face.
This was one of the many changes that have taken place at South Stack since 1809. The lights regularly became more efficient and in 1938 electric power replaced the oil that powered the lamps. In 1964 the iron bridge was taken down and a new one of aluminium was put up in its place.
The lighthouse was automated in 1984, and the keepers withdrawn. Today, the lighthouse is monitored and controlled by computer link from Trinity House Operations Centre in Harwich, Essex.

Chad got that terrible cold that's been going around. I suffered it too, about a week ago, even being sent home from work two days in a row for being such a "feeb" (as Lisa called me). Sucked! I am never sick! Like seriously, only once every 2 years!
Poor Chad, he was coughing so much last night. But he was keeping me awake so I had to go sleep on the daybed in the front bedroom at 2:30am. Here are all the pillows stacked up out of the way.
