An alternate take on a previous post. Taken in the Plaza San Nicolas…the cathedral now want to charge 5€ to get in so, as I’m incredibly tightfisted, I decided to shoot this stack instead…for free.

This is the mirrored cone at the center of the glass dome atop the Reichstag building in Berlin, Germany. I took this shot early in the morning whilst on the spiral ramp that goes around the interior of the dome.
South Stack is set in a spectacular location a few miles to the north-west of Holyhead, it was completed in 1809.
An early morning shot with some nice clear conditions just before the inevitable rain started for the day, the oncoming rain meant plenty of moving clouds to use, a 2 minute exposure time streaking them right across the scene.

This sea stack can be found just outside Glencolmcille in Donegal. It is my favourite photo to date, taken with my latest Sony camera.

Picture of the Day
I've always been a little jealous of West Coast photographers, with their coast and mountains that haven't been flattened by the extreme glaciation we experienced here in Maine. Things are just more dramatic out there. I had never seen a sea stack in Maine outside of Monument Cove in Acadia, so finding this hidden gem was pretty exciting. I photographed it before about a few months ago, but the light wasn't stellar and I didn't have a good composition. As things lined up for what promised to be a great light show yesterday afternoon, I planned to come back and shoot sunset here. My brother said he would come with me, so off we went.
We arrived with seconds to spare to get set up and catch the best light. As things started going off, Zander said he could get up on the pinnacle and model for me. I said sure, but there didn't seem to be a good way to get up. I offered to do it myself and have him press the shutter, but he said 'f' it and started to clamber up what was an insanely difficult rock problem. He made it, I tripped the shutter, and captured one of my favorite photos in a long time.
A trio of eastbound trains were chilling at Fort Madison waiting on a signal while the Mississippi River bridge was open to allow a tow barge through.
As soon as the bridge closed, Santa Fe would give clear signals to their trains and eventually give one to the Southern Pacific trackage rights train.
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.

Just when you need a wide-angle lens you realise that you've only brought along the tele-zoom! Then I remembered my phone - I'm not a great fan of phone cameras but I had no other option. Even though I only have a budget smartphone I was very surprised at how well this turned out.
Note the precipitous edge about a metre in front of where I was standing. South Stack is definitely not a place for young children!
Best viewed large.

Bread stacked on roast beef on emmantal cheese on bread, with butter and mustard layered in-between. And very nice it was too!
In the background are whole radishes and sweet peas in their pods. Both are in baggies from the fridge.
These termite mounds are only a few minutes from my Dundee Beach block in the Northern Territory of Australia. I captured this image using the focus stacking app on my Nikon D850, it consists of 17 images that I rendered using Helicon Focus 7 software.
This sea stack is at Downpatrick Head, County Mayo and is on the Wild Atlantic Way. We drove part of this route last week and will be going back for more in the not too distant future.

...like 747 Heavies landing at O'Hare, these bees are attracted to the sugary solution in the hummingbird feeder for which it's meant. So far, no hummers. Not complaining though, since we suspect that the bees are far more endangered than those tiny birds, and without the bees, well, you know how that goes!
This is NOT a multiple exposure!
In case you didn't know: Bees produce honey by collecting nectar, a clear liquid consisting of nearly 80 percent water and complex sugars. The collecting bees store the nectar in a second stomach and return to the hive, where worker bees remove the nectar. The worker bees digest the raw nectar for about 30 minutes, using digestive enzymes to break down the complex sugars into simpler ones. Raw honey is then spread in empty honeycomb cells to dry, reducing its water content to less than 20 percent. When nectar is being processed, honey bees create a draft through the hive by fanning with their wings. When the honey has dried, the honeycomb cells are sealed (capped) with wax to preserve it.
