Not my photo!
A friend of mine in America, Len, sent me this photo yesterday.
I told him that I think it’s a beautiful photograph and asked if it would be okay to post this and his tale on Flickr. He agreed.
I met Len a number of years ago. We both play ‘Words with friends’ (it’s like the game of Scrabble) on their app.
He’s a good friend, and we often message or email.
Len and his wife live in Montana in the summer, and Arizona in the winter.
Len:
“Sunset View from our humble abode of the smoke stack at what was the Anaconda Cooper Co. Smelter where they processed copper, silver, gold, lead and zinc. It was shut down in the mid 1980’s. The stack is over 900 feet tall and the largest free standing stack in the world and is now a National Monument.
When it was in operation I brokered the insurance on all 1600 employees families that worked in the plant and had a claims office in Anaconda just to handle this insured plan. It was a great time in my life and a lot of fun. Many dollars commission for my family over the years. Also a lot of lifetime friendships built as a result. 😁👍”

South Stack September 2024.
I think this was taken about half an hour after sunset, just before the pink colours "evaporated".
Clouds in an unusual formation. Although perhaps not so unusual for where I was, in Carson Valley up against the Eastern Sierra's

Taken during blue hour with a Fujifilm X-T5, 8mm f/3.5 lens, this isolated storm put on a good lightning show. I stacked 5x6s frames and lightened in Photoshop. The star trail above the thunderstorm reveals the 5 frames.

Concrete swirling up the the atrium at Salvador Dali museum, sort of like Salvador Dalí's signature mustache did.
Crescent City, California
Sea stacks and rocks along the coast near Crescent City. A setting sun gives the warm glow and a telephoto lens the apparent compression.
Behind the resort in Mexico, chairs stacked for workers to hide and take a break. Always interesting to walk the outskirts.
Of course, I made a point to look for empty chairs and tea sets to photograph on the holiday....
A few of you seemed to like Zoey Van Goey yesterday, so here's another. Sadly, they are no more, but they left behind some good tunes. This one is "We Don't Have That Kind of Bread": youtu.be/W3h7nmL9PKM
A sluggish, wet bumblebee (species unknown) afforded me a close-up photo, shot on my smartphone, with a homemade macro add-on lens.
This is my first attempt at focus stacking. I took two photos with my phone, which naturally had two slightly different slices of the insect in focus. I manually aligned them in GIMP, and selectively erased as appropriate.
I know, some people do this a lot and are far better at it than me, but doing it for the first time did give a small sense of achievement.
Stacked up – The immense Elegug Stacks catching the last of the day's sunlight before the encroaching shadows envelope the coast..
Also known as Stack Rocks, it's really hard to get an impression of the scale of these two dramatic carboniferous limestone sea pillars from the cliff edge, even though they are some 150 feet high. Located on the on the dramatic and remote south west tip of Wales, access is only possible at certain times across the MOD Castlemartin military range.
The long exposure really drew out the colours of this breathtaking coastal scene.

Taken from a GoPro 10 @ 240 fps video by screen saving each of 19 frames, stacking and lightening it in Photoshop.
This is a single event. Seeking shelter in my garage.
Best lightning display during this year's Southwest Monsoon (9/23/22) during blue hour.

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.
An eastbound CSX stack train flies underneath ancient New York Central signals and a dramatic sunrise in Buffalo, New York. To my understanding, these classic signals have since been replaced.
South Stack Lighthouse, the iconic view for anyone who goes to South Stack, I keep saying I have taken enough, but then think well one more...
My trusty magnetic measuring spoons, dressed up for Macro Monday.
I had the "clever idea" of putting different colors of water in each spoon, but ended up spilling it instead. But as I started to clean up, I noticed the spilled dye made great color reflections and --- voila!
The spoons are 2 inches long from front to back and 1.5 inches tall.

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.

Another shot of Gog and Magog - this time from a higher vantage point.
"Located about one kilometre east of the Twelve Apostles Visitor Facility are the Gibson Steps, a set of steps from a car park which lead down to Gibson Beach which provides access, at beach level, to the Twelve Apostles. The original steps were carved into the rock by Hugh Gibson, an early owner of Glenample Homestead. They have been improved over the years and offer a sea level view of the "stacks" that make up the Twelve Apostles. The two that are viewable from the beach are known as Gog and Magog. Fishing is possible from the beach but it is unwise to go swimming."

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!

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!
