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.
Neottia cordata (Herz-Zweiblatt) Rastal, Steiermark, Austria. They are quite difficult to find, but once you discovered one more will follow. I had to stack the pictures as this orchid is really tiny!
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
The Snowbirds performing during the 2019 Penticton Peach Festival. In May 2020 one of the planes crashed in Kamloops, British Columbia after a bird strike during takeoff and unfortunately Captain Jennifer Casey didn't survive the crash.

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.
Loaded and empty T-Bird trains sit single file outside of the Thunderdome. The 2112 will take the loaded T-Bird south after a stack train off of the DWP clears the interlocking. Both the C40s and ancient ore cars are gone from this operation.
These stacked Ferraris can be seen at the Ferrari dealership on Burrard St. in Vancouver, BC...They switch out the showcased cars occasionally...The cars are not always a Ferrari red colour...

I happened to be in Anglesey this weekend, staying not too far from South Stack. So armed with my filters I headed over, and timed my arrival just after the sun had set.
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.

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!
Picked some shells from a nearby beach sometime ago.
The smallest shell on top is about half an inch.
For Macro Mondays, Stack.
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.
I waited at this spot on the Chattooga River until dark hoping a colorful sunset would emerge but the sky just turned gray instead, This image was made about 1/2 hour before sunset when the setting sun illuminated the underside of the clouds, casting a golden light on the water. I got a nice 2 hour hike in the dark back to my truck, but a lovely day on the river, so worth it.
