Smile on Saturday : Stacked
“The books transported her into new worlds and introduced her to amazing people who lived exciting lives. She went on olden-day sailing ships with Joseph Conrad. She went to Africa with Ernest Hemingway and to India with Rudyard Kipling. She travelled all over the world while sitting in her little room in an English village.”
Roald Dahl - Matilda

Macro Mondays 'stack' theme.
I tried several stacks for this theme, some were too big and some simply refused to stay stacked! I ended up with these little containers from the Trivial Pursuit game.

These 60m sea stacks tower high above the ferocious and unpredictable water of the North Sea. It is a land truly carved by time and stands as a monument to the destructive power of nature in this part of the world.

South Stack Lighthouse was built by Trinity House in 1809, marking a tiny islet off Anglesey at the north west tip of Wales

The real north east tip of Scotland is Duncansby Head, a good mile or two further north east than John O Groats. From the lighthouse there is a fabulous walk along the cliff edges to this scenic spot. Looking south along the Old Red Sandstone cliffs, there is first Thirle Door - a natural sea arch, and beyond are the Stacks of Duncansby. The stacks look very chunky and solid from this angle, but if you walk further along the cliffs you get an edge on view, and you come to realise just how fragile they are. They are surrounded by the bases of other stacks, all that is left of other rock towers that have succumbed to the weather and collapsed. The whole area is home to thousands of seabirds, seen sitting on cliff perches or swirling around above the sea. Yet another example of why Scotland is such a special country.

The town of Vik the Southernmost town in Iceland is famous for its black basalt sand and the imposing Reynisdrangar sea stacks.
Vik is definitely one of my favorite places to visit in Iceland not because the town has a great cafe that sells a wonderful bowl of lamb goulash but because it has so many photography opportunities on its doorstep. Just being able to walk the few hundred yards from the hotel to this beautiful beach and gaze at the majestic sea stacks is a real treat.
Thankfully the day we arrived the conditions were perfect with a nice pink glow in the sky as the sun began to set, unfortunately things went down hill rapidly thereafter as future photos will show!
I stubbled across this beautiful cliff top scene whilst out on a coastal walk yesterday. It was a nice surprise to find these stacks sitting there, I never knew they existed!
Looking forward to capturing them again under some better conditions.

The Pancake Rocks can be found in the Putai area. Formed 30 million years ago from minute pieces of dead marine creatures and plants settling on the seabed about 2 km under the surface. The immense water pressure at this depth caused the fragments to solidify in hard and soft layers. Due to the seismic action in this area the limestone strata was lifted the above the seabed. Mildly acidic rain, wind and seawater slowly created the strange rock forms.
