A challenging stack this one , 3 hand held images taken in low light on a leaf that wouldn't stay still due to the breeze.
To be honest I didn't think it would turn out and selected shutter priority mode in the hope of being able to freeze the movement of the leaf.
Its quite a noisy picture as the bridge camera doesn't like low light.

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.
This is a very common behavior for greyhounds, but it doesn't seem to be instinctive, it seems to be learned.

South Stack Lighthouse, Anglesey.
South Stack is set in a spectacular location to the north-west of Holyhead. The lighthouse acts as a waymark for coastal traffic and a landmark and orientation light for vessels crossing the Irish Sea to and from the ports of Holyhead and Dun Laoghaire.
History of the lighthouse
In 1645 when lighthouses were privately owned, King Charles II was petitioned for a patent to build a lighthouse on South Stack. The request was refused. However, 143 years after the original petition, Trinity House leased South Stack island and construction of the lighthouse commenced. On 9 February 1809, the station's oil lamps, designed by Daniel Alexander at a cost of £12,000, were first lit. In 1828 an iron suspension bridge was built to replace the rope catwalk that originally linked the lighthouse to the bottom of the 400 steps down the cliff face.
This was one of the many changes that have taken place at South Stack since 1809. The lights regularly became more efficient and in 1938 electric power replaced the oil that powered the lamps. In 1964 the iron bridge was taken down and a new one of aluminium was put up in its place.
The lighthouse was automated in 1984, and the keepers withdrawn. Today, the lighthouse is monitored and controlled by computer link from Trinity House Operations Centre in Harwich, Essex.
Dave nails the DPUs on the heavy westbound SLPKSCO1-13K over the Pecos River Bridge in Ft. Sumner, NM. The stack train was a monster at 10,000 tons and 10,250 feet long running in a 3x2 configuration. In the background, the new bridge can be seen going up to the west of the existing bridge.

I'm sure you've seen people making a human pyramid many times, but have you ever seen a horse-man-horse-man stack, huh?
The sky was especially dramatic this evening, as the sun was setting
over the agricultural... industrial-looking place that was under this
particular set of clouds.

Half nature, half ruins... who needs the rule of thirds, anyway?
The "mouth" of an old stack, at or near the Adventure Mine (yes, that was its real name!) last fall. This was the opening which would have led into the adjacent boiler building.
Still catching up on some old photos...
Edit, many years later: Actually, this was for the Mass mine, not Adventure. Whoops! They are neighbors...
