A better angle on the stacks - with the sun bright due south at noon, I walked further down the coast beyond them and looked back up north instead.
South Stack, Anglesey, Wales
South Stack is an island situated just off Holy Island on the northwest coast of Anglesey. It is famous as the location of one of Wales' most spectacular South Stack Lighthouse (can be seen in the middle-top of the picture). The cliffs are 130m high in 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, South Stack is also famed for its plant life and one plant in particular, can only 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.
On the right top of this picture, Ellin's Tower can be seen that offers a grand view for those who come with telescopes and high-powered binoculars.

Stack Rock Fort.
Dai the Drone was with me while I did some work down in West Wales. Took my lunch at the Sandy Haven Beach car park and Dai took a quick flight out to see the Fort just off the shore.
Happy shortest day!
The moment of solstice falls tonight, December 21st, but unusually it's not until tomorrow morning that the solstice's closest sunrise will be celebrated at Stonehenge- seen here silhouetted by glow from the lights of Larkhill Camp.

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.
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!

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
When arriving in Ethiopia, I always wanted to take photos of the stacks by the roads. It seems I only saw them in the first one or two days, and I don't think I saw them in southern Ethiopia. Thankfully I took a clear picture in the first day.
I guessed they were Teff stacks (so I didn't even ask the guide what they were).

Shot for Active Assignment Weekly, theme "Deep Focus"
WIT
I do a lot of experimenting with macro focus stacking, most of the time with a focus rail, and sometimes with the focus stack function on my camera. For creating the focus stack I use Helicon Focus.
For today I was planning to go to the park and try this technique on larger subjects, but unfortunately the weather is bad today. So I shot this wasp (found dead on the floor). I stuck it on a needle and created a background resembling the sun. In total 125 shots, stacked with Helicon Focus.
So here is Icarus flying towards the heat.
Maybe tomorrow conditions will be better and I can go out to the park.
