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.

For Macro Mondays "Stack" (its also focus stacked!)

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.

Stacked has two meaning here--their tight formation, and processing of five photos. On a somber day in early February, I headed for the University of Colorado's greenhouse for a respite from cold and wind.

Tom Lemieux identified this as a Phalaenopsis orchid, probably hybridized to some degree.

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!

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!

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.

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.

On this morning of May 11, 2019, there seemed to be stack trains all over the place in Salt Lake City. Here is another westbound/Northbound coming through downtown.

Pano is 90 images. 6 segments of 15 images, each segment is focus stacked then merged into a Pano with Lightroom.

I know the stacking is way off point here and its a bit hit and miss, but with it being my first attempt I am quite happy with it.
