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.

Stacks on! Here's one of the girls from Nicky's pod wrestling with two other dolphins during courtship. These guys aren't shy about mating, they'll do it anywhere... orgy's are always fun... and you gotta have an audience!

Two UP Stack trains meet in Traver, CA. This is a small town of about 700 people along the SR-99 "valley" corridor of the Central Valley of California. Traver is known for its grain exports.
Today these two stack trains waste no time blazing through town, even with an older Southern Pacific (now UP) loco second out on the Westbound (Compass North) train.

There was some discussion on the ICE Rail group today about the possibility of double-stacks on the IC&E via the Kansas City connection with KCS. One report said CP was making track adjustments under the CN (IC) bridge at Genoa to accommodate stacks.
I recalled photographing some UP overhead stack trains on the I&M Rail Link, and dug up this one of stacks coming under said bridge on 4-5-2000...so I'm not sure what work needed done if it was indeed for future stack traffic. Either way, this is interesting news...

West
South Stack Rock lies separated from Holyhead Island by 30 metres of turbulent sea, surging to and fro in continuous motion. The coastline from the breakwater and around the south western shore is made of large granite cliffs rising sheer from the sea to 60 metres.
Origins
South Stack Lighthouse was first envisaged in 1665 when a petition for a patent to erect the lighthouse was presented to Charles II. The patent was not granted and it was not until 9 February 1809 that the first light appeared to mark the rock. The lighthouse was designed by Trinity House surveyor Daniel Alexander and originally fitted with Argand oil lamps and reflectors. Around 1840 a railway was installed by means of which a lantern with a subsidiary light could be lowered down the cliff to sea level when fog obscured the main light.
On 25 October 1859 it is said that the most severe storm of the century occurred, known as the 'Royal Charter' gale; and on that and the following day over 200 vessels were either driven ashore or totally wrecked with the loss of 800 lives.The steamship Royal Charter was among these, sinking within yards of help with the loss of almost 500 passengers and crew.
In the mid 1870s the lantern and lighting apparatus was replaced by a new lantern. In 1909 an early form of incandescent light was installed and in 1927 this was replaced by a more modern form of incandescent mantle burner. The station was electrified in 1938.
Automation
On 12 September 1984 the lighthouse was automated and the keepers withdrawn. The lighthouse is now monitored and controlled from Trinity House’s Planning Centre in Harwich, Essex.

The stacking of molecules is not only restricted to twist folds.
It is also possible with other sorts of 90 degrees pleat intersections. This is just one of the first tries.
Here the second intersection fold is not really visible. It is on the other side of the paper.

there's something almost post-apocalyptic about this photo for me...
in any case, lets hope the apocalypse can wait because today i am heading down to san jose, ca. shawn's parents are down there, so we are going to visit and for some business: he's playing in a charity golf tournament on saturday and i am running in the silicon Valley 1/2 marathon on sunday.
while shawn is golfing on saturday, i am heading to san francisco to see the richard avedon exhibit and to meet suz or sooze. I believe that rebecca is joining us too. so excited to meet more flickr buds! :-)
This one is three separate boxes that stack on top of each other to make a trinket box tower of sorts :-) Each box is 85 mm (3.5") diameter by 45 mm (1.8") deep. The top two boxes each have a foot ring that sits inside the previous box preventing them from sliding about. The bottom box has a flat base which is why it appears shorter in the third pic. Overall height when stacked, including the lid is 155 mm (6.1"). The shiny finish is achieved with liquid Kato, a method taught to me by Debbie Crothers.
South Stack is an island situated just off Holy Island on the North West coast of Anglesey. It is famous as the location of one of Wales' most spectacular lighthouses.
South Stack Lighthouse has warned passing ships of the treacherous rocks below since its completion in 1809. The 28 m (91 ft) lighthouse was designed by Daniel Alexander and the main light is visible to passing vessels for 28 miles, and was designed to allow safe passage for ships on the treacherous Dublin - Holyhead - Liverpool sea route. It provides the first beacon along the northern coast of Anglesey for east-bound ships. It is followed by lighthouses, fog horns and other markers at North Stack, Holyhead breakwater, The Skerries, the Mice and at the north-east tip of the island Trwyn-Du. The lighthouse is operated remotely by Trinity House.[1] It has been visited by the team at Most Haunted.
Visitors can climb to the top of the lighthouse and tour the engine room and exhibition area. The lighthouse is open seasonally.
