Thought I would see the late afternoon traffic before sunset.
Every drive by has a story - I'll leave you to think what it might be.
A few images from a recent visit to Stack Rock fort. It is testament to the skill of the engineers and builders of the day that the main structure is still in such good condition.
Someone obviously had a lot of time on their hands...

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.

The “Steel Stacks” at the site of the old defunct Bethlehem Steel Mill (closed as of 1995) with the former great, thundering, blast furnaces, is a vision to behold. This sprawling mill is a reflection of the once, second largest steel manufacturing company in America, which was a major contributor to the industrial advancements of our nation. So many great buildings, structures, and bridges have employed Bethlehem Steel in their creations, not to mention the enormous percentage of iron and steel used by the US military during the great wars of the 20th century, from basic material needed to armory and weapons, and finally to the massive naval ships . . .
One can visit the website for more information at www.steelstacks.org and get a pretty good feel of the impact Bethlehem Steel once had, including a names of many incredible sites, specifically, that had been built predominantly with
Bethlehem Steel. Furthermore, you can also learn about the wonderful programs offered at SteelStacks today.
Granted, there were countless accounts of poor labor conditions and horrifically demanding working hours, but nonetheless, it is an integral part of the technological progress garnered in the USA. We know friends who had worked here before its closure, and the sentiments of their experiences are mixed.
In any event, today the nearly 130 acres of grounds has been acquired by the Sands Hotel and Casino, and the main area besides the historic site for visitors is also occupied by Arts Quest, the Leavitt Pavilion (offering 50 free concerts per year), and PBS, all non-profit organizations that endorse and promote the arts. So, not only is this a learning experience in American and industrial history, but a place for wonderful entertainment. The focus in the music area, as we understand, is on supporting regional performers—in a sense, showing pride in Pennsylvania and nearby talents.
Eventually, the sprawling grounds and many of the old magnificent structures of the steel mill will be restored toward the development of trendy residence, shops and eateries, educational centers devoted to American industrial history, and much more.

In Stack Room 2 you see the stacks of books from printmaking through the subject of books themselves. At the far back are the illustrated children's book. The signs on each stack indicate the subjects housed there.

The Locke’s Distillery chimney stack is one of the most visible structures in Kilbeggan and was built during the 1880’s for their new steam engine boiler room. Notice the different coloured bricks used in the construction of this chimney – yellow brick lower section and red brick for the upper section.
John Locke’s distillery at Kilbeggan in County Westmeath is a working industrial heritage museum set up and run by local volunteers of the Kilbeggan Preservation and Development Association Ltd since 1982. In 1987 the site was bought by Cooley’s Distillery and in 2010 also secured the lease for the visitor’s centre there. To celebrate their one-millionth visitor, Locke’s Distillery Museum held a free open-day on 10th September 2011 which was well attended and a great success. Incidentally, the one-millionth visitor came from Germany.
Locke’s Distillery produces pure Pot Still Irish whiskey as well as having some 40,000 sq. ft. of storage space at Kilbeggan, also used for the storage and maturation of whiskey produced by Cooleys. Kilbeggan is also unique in having a 180 year old licensed pot still with a capacity to produce 25,000 cases a year of pot-still whiskey, most of it going to export. Since 2010 Kilbeggan distillery has also introduced its own full milling, mashing, fermentation and distillation processes carried out using more traditional methods.

In 1982 a restoration project began and has since then has been ongoing. Fortunately, most of the distillery equipment and machinery survived and if not for the restoration project, it would all certainly have been lost by now.)

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.

Somehow, the chimney from the Caledonian Distillery survived the wrecker's ball and serves as a fine landmark and reminder of the area's industrial past. Established in 1885 by the Menzies family, it became at one time the largest patent still grain distillery in Europe. The Menzies also owned the Sunbury Distillery on the Water of Leith. Ownership of "The Caley" later passed to the Distillers Company Limited (DCL) as the grain whisky industry consolidated around this organisation.
DCL was purchased in 1986 by Guiness (which became the subject of the Guiness Fraud) and was merged by the new owners with Arthur Bell & Sons in 1987 to form United Distillers. The Caledonian Distillery was closed in 1988, but United Distillers (now Diageo) have a part share in the nearby North British Distillery at which they continue to produce grain spirit for their blended whiskies.
The surrounding buildings have either been raised or the finer examples converted to flats, the most that any of Edinburgh's industrial landmarks can really expect.
