Such little progress never felt like such great accomplishment. So glad to be working on my Penny Sampler again.
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.
Just a fun line art piece I did last week. I did a little video showing the progressive phases of this as one as I was drawing it out. You can see it on my YouTube channel or on my rainbowelephant.com blog.
My first attempt at stacking, phil helped me along the way =]
Ended up using the torch lit test shot instead of the strobed shot
as it brought the colours of the train out more.
About a ten minute stack.

Did a night shoot with Alise. I lit the hay stacks with several pops of my 580exII set to 1/16 or 1/8th with a red gel.
Our Daily Challenge = Stacks
This is the stack of respirator masks I took on the trip with Kay just in case we found ourselves in a place totally disgusting but interesting. Thankfully we did not need them:)

Met alvast mijn excuses voor de kentekenfreak die deze foto over 50 jaar ziet en de fotograaf vervloekt omdat hij niet wat lager gericht heeft.
Trim stacks of firewood standing under the trees
We offer a wide range of wood products with multiple sizes to fit various needs and budgets. The most common order is 2-5 cords delivered which will last the whole heating season for most families. However we also offer half cords, quarter cords and small bundles for the more occasional wood burner or someone who does not have the need or the space to store a large quantity of firewood.
In additional to what you see here we can also fill many special requests as we often carry specialty woods not listed on the website. Always feel free to call us at 877-312-Wood(9663) or 541-537-4890 to ask any questions, put in a special request or ask what kind of "good stuff" we have in stock. For those of us that prefer email you can also send a quick request or question to info@centraloregonfirewood.com
Using the three stacked fabrics, with two fabrics in each block is really fun! I like these because they look different but the same. The first column is horses and hats, the second is horses and boots and the third is hats and boots. I haven't decided yet if I'll trim these to octagons or hexagons...probably hexagons.

I'm so glad to have this block for using six-stacks! Love making these :) I'll arrange them and decide on the setting triangles after I get all of the blocks done.

The stack of the SS Sicamous, now permanently beached in Pentiction. Built in 1914, the Sicamous was a CPR stern wheeler that ran up Lake Okanagan. Built in the 20th/21st century, the CCTV is a device for watching people vandalize the Sicamous.

My mom and I swap trades every now and then. I make her a letterhead and she sews me a work apron. SWEET!
