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.
Too cold and dark to go outside and shoot. So I stacked up the plates neatly and fired away. 2011YIP

The South Stack Lighthouse is built on the summit of a small island off the north-west coast of Holy Island, Anglesey, Wales. It was built in 1809 to warn ships of the dangerous rocks below. The 91-foot tall lighthouse was designed by Daniel Alexander.

Sometimes after a tough day where everything you tried to do seemed to flounder or fail, just go back to your childhood. Lay back on the grass and simply look at the sky. Search for animal shapes or people's faces and let your troubles float away for awhile. (Rooster Rock State Park DSC_9790.jpg)
Hamilton, Ontario has a large industrial sector and, as a result, shipping is an essential element in keeping that sector operating. To that end, standardized shipping containers are used and, when they are awaiting either loading onto ships for transport to their ultimate destination or awaiting further distribution following off-loading from ships, the containers area stacked neatly, as seen here. The resulting pattern of multi-coloured ‘boxes’ is captured here in an industrial area. - JW

Tech Details:
Taken using a hand-held Nikon D800 fitted with an Tamron 100-400mm 1:4.5-6.3 DI VC USD lense set to 290mm, ISO220 (Auto ISO), Daylight WB, Matrix metering, Shutter Priority Mode, f/6.0 (wide open), 1/800 sec. PP in free Open Source GIMP from Nikon RAW/NEF file: scale image to 9000 px wide, apply distortion correction to remove pincushion distortion, level the image, apply Tone Mapping as well as Dynamic Range Compression at default levels to bring out textures and tame the extreme brightness range, darken overall by setting Exposure Compensation to EV-0.52, boost Contrast as well as Chromaticity in L-A-B mode, adjust colour temperature by setting it to 5500K (slightly warmer), sharpen (edges only), save. PP in free Open Source GIMP: use the Contrast/Brightness tool to both increase contrast and also brighten somewhat, use the Hue-Saturation-Brightness tool to boost overall saturation, sharpen, save, add fine black-and-white frame, add bar and text on bottom, save, scale image to 3000 px wide for posting online, sharpen, save.
Some work is going to begin on the powerlines it appears, these logs must be for a temporary roadway...or just a good background for a portrait photographer

The Carpenter bee flower. This is one of the passion flowers, Passiflora incarnata, designed to be pollinated by Carpenter bees which fit right in and are daubed by pollen (note the stigmas are those large white things ABOVE the stamens). Since each vine is self incompatible they have to get it right. Flower and photograph by Helen Lowe Metzman.

We Are Made One with What We Touch and See
We are resolved into the supreme air,
We are made one with what we touch and see,
With our heart's blood each crimson sun is fair,
With our young lives each spring impassioned tree
Flames into green, the wildest beasts that range
The moor our kinsmen are, all life is one, and all is change.

This image was taken from about 2 dozen stacked images of a fire sky sunrise: www.flickr.com/photos/79387036@N07/38659797831/in/photost... and darkened in Photoshop.
I like producing these quasi-abstracts because it requires a balance between the right number of stacked images and the speed of the clouds between each frame. I never know what the end product will look like and am always surprised.
Lightening stacked clouds often result in a more look of a star field when warp drive is engaged: www.flickr.com/photos/79387036@N07/37893063574/in/datepos...
Darkenng stacked clouds show more variability and can be more interesting as colors explode across the spectrum.
In any event, fire sky clouds are the best for using this technique.
Try it out. It's a fun way to create with the colors nature provides us.
