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.

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.

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.
This was my prize for a lightning chase that was a bust. It turned out to be an evening of many rainbows, including this beautiful and brilliant short stack over the Manzano Mountains. It was so dreamy with the pouring rain in the background yet interfering with the sharpness of the lines. Los Lunas, New Mexico USA
This will be my first in a series of at least 3 rainbow compositions that I shot during this sunset. At least I intend to do that.
Cheese burger with lots of yummy layers for the Looking Close... On Friday challenge: "Food With Layers."
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.

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.
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...
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 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!
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.
South Stack Lighthouse, located on a small islet, Ynys Lawd, off the coast of Anglesey in Wales, is a historic lighthouse built in 1809. It was built by Trinity House to mark the treacherous rocks below and guide ships on the Dublin-Holyhead-Liverpool route. Known for its dramatic location on steep cliffs, it is accessible via a staircase of 400 steps. For a fee visitors can tour the former engine room and climb to the top of the lighthouse. South Stack is a wonderful place to watch thousands of breeding seabirds including guillemots, razorbills and puffins.
No.1 Croydon office block (formerly called NLA Tower, but also nicknamed the 50p building because of its multi-sided shape).
Designed in a brutalist style by architect Richard Seifert & Partners and completed in 1970.
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.

South Stack has been a warning beacon for passing ships since it's construction over 200 years ago, cautioning them of the deadly rocks below. The lighthouse helps guide shipping in the busy channel into the Mersey and is a waymark for local seafarers, as well as for coastal traffic crossing the Irish Sea to and from the ports of Holyhead, Dublin and Dun Laoghaire.

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.
The fantastic view from the top of the University Library in Helsinki. I had to resist the strong urge to drop something on the guy below :)

Using a video clip of 9.5 minutes long from a Fujifilm X-T5, 16-55mm f/2.8 lens @ f/5.6 & 55mm, I screen saved the best lightning bolts that failed to reach the ground. There are about 2 dozen frames that were stacked and lightened in Photoshop. Note fireworks on the horizon.
Because these strokes never grounded, their brightness was not blown out. I then took the grounded lightning and stacked 8 images to produce: www.flickr.com/photos/cloud_spirit/54632788645.
