These massive Limestone Stacks provide home for nesting seabirds for part of the year. They are named after the Guillemot's that thrive here, Elegug being the Welsh word for them.
I visited 3 times during my weeks stay here and got very different conditions. This particular evening the light was pretty good, but the sky was spectacular. I tried a few different techniques, LE, Grads and this one with a circular polariser which gave more emphasis on that sky (Not to everyones taste I'm sure).
I had the place more or less to myself on all 3 evenings, which was a surprise. The dry weather had certainly killed off a lot of the cliff top foliage, but I did manage to use this hardy little plant to provide a modicum of foreground interest.
These stacked Ferraris can be seen at the Ferrari dealership on Burrard St. in Vancouver, BC...They switch out the showcased cars occasionally...The cars are not always a Ferrari red colour...
No.1 Croydon office block (formerly called NLA Tower, but also nicknamed the 50p building because of its multi-sided shape).
Designed in a brutalist style by architect Richard Seifert & Partners and completed in 1970.
Cheese burger with lots of yummy layers for the Looking Close... On Friday challenge: "Food With Layers."
Stacked rocks, stacked rock layers, stacked canyon rims, stacked clouds, stacked colors, and probably some other stacked things I’m missing. Some may know the Bon Iver song of the same name as the title, though I’m more familiar with the Gregoire Maret version with Bill Frisell.
A late afternoon view of the La Sal Mountains above the distant glowing cliffs of Wingate Sandstone and nearby rim of Gooseberry Canyon and its hoodoos. The lenticular clouds and cap on the tops of the peaks hint at the incoming winter storm, though it won’t arrive fully for another 36 hours.
Rose, stack of 8 images. Now that we are confined to our home it is time to do some long due experimenting.

A lovely visit to South Stack Lighthouse with my brother. We gave this location three chances for colour. First evening, you couldn't see it, the fog was so thick. Next morning was promising and it gave colour, greens, blues and greys but sadly no lovely sunrise and then again in the evening, it was not too be. Ended up coming home early, due to a raging tooth infection and swollen face, so there will be a revisit!
I happened to be in Anglesey this weekend, staying not too far from South Stack. So armed with my filters I headed over, and timed my arrival just after the sun had set.
One of my favorite, more colorful stack trains on this route heads by the transitway with a sea of red stacks in tow. They will make a quick stop for a crew change at 44th Avenue before heading across the Staples Sub.

The "stacked" bubbles of Abraham Lake are indeed interesting, especially when they form stacks with interesting shapes like you see here. We had a fun time finding cool bubbles like these to photograph!
Picked some shells from a nearby beach sometime ago.
The smallest shell on top is about half an inch.
For Macro Mondays, Stack.
A sea stack is a large stack of rock in the sea that looks like a tall stone tower, separated from the main shoreline. They can occur wherever there is a water body and a cliff. Sea stacks can be found on all seven continents, and each highlights a subtle difference in how they are formed. Famous examples exist everywhere from Australia to Ireland, Iceland, and Russia. Some of them are long and flat, while others are tall, thin, and pointed.
Coastal erosion or the slow wearing of rock by water and wind over very long periods of time causes a stack to form. All sea stacks start out as part of nearby rock formations. Over millennia, wind and waves break the rock down. The force of the two creates cracks in the stone, and, little by little, cracks become chips, which fall off the main rock.
When enough chips fall off, holes are created that extend from one rock outcrop side to the other. Eventually, the wind and water break through to the other side, creating a cave or arch. Over many more generations, this arch also falls away, separating one part of the rock from the original cliff, resulting in the sea stack.
It's hard work for those little pigs to stack those little jars.

I waited at this spot on the Chattooga River until dark hoping a colorful sunset would emerge but the sky just turned gray instead, This image was made about 1/2 hour before sunset when the setting sun illuminated the underside of the clouds, casting a golden light on the water. I got a nice 2 hour hike in the dark back to my truck, but a lovely day on the river, so worth it.
South Stack has been a warning beacon for passing ships since it's construction over 200 years ago, cautioning them of the deadly rocks below. The lighthouse helps guide shipping in the busy channel into the Mersey and is a waymark for local seafarers, as well as for coastal traffic crossing the Irish Sea to and from the ports of Holyhead, Dublin and Dun Laoghaire.
