This Stack Chair has a 2 inch padded seat and a 1 inch padded back. It stacks 10 high to save space. The stacks can be wheeled around to make it easier for setting up events.
Ten of these will fit around a 60 inch round table for dinner. For an information session, three fit comfortably on one side of a 6' x 18" seminar style table, allowing plenty of room for taking notes.
This type of chair is great for long meetings and seminars because of the thick padded seat.
Any liquids or food spilled on it are easily cleaned off the vinyl fabric with a damp cloth.
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.
Our way into and out of Antelope Canyon offered a view of the smoke stacks rising over the desert from the Navajo Generating Station, located very near the head of Antelope Canyon about 4 and a half miles from the point on the water were I took this picture.
This is where former Mayor Bill came closest to taking a partisan stand in the conversation, as he couldn't avoid talking about the plant and this unique moment in the plant's history as it finished up its third-to-last day of operations. Mayor Bill wasn't specific about his work history prior to being elected Mayor of Page, but he did say that he'd lived in Page for 40 years, and that he'd spent a lot of his career before politics working in the energy industry associated with this power plant. So this was a personal issue for him, and you could tell if you got very far into that conversation that he was a little bitter about the closure.
His main argument, which you'd expect, was economic. "That plant has provided 2,500 jobs for the people of Page and the Navajo and Hopi reservations," he said. "Page can make up some of that, because we have tourism. We have the lake. But those are service industry jobs that offer something close to minimum wage, trying to make up for career jobs that paid 40, 50 dollars an hour, plus benefits. You can't make up for that."
On top of that, Mayor Bill said, the power plant and its associated coal mine had brought an enormous amount of revenue to the Navajo Nation and the Hopi Reservation through lease agreements and royalties. "The Navajo get about a third of their revenue from the plant," Mayor Bill said. "Now, they at least have some other sources of income, but the Hopi don't have anything. This plant is about 70 percent of their annual revenue. Imagine anybody trying to make up 70 percent of their income. You can't do it."
Mayor Bill said that the reason for all this was the shift in the economics of coal over the last decade, amplified by the environmentalist-driven push to move away from coal as an energy source. I've talked a lot about that over the years on this page. The advent of hydraulic fracturing (fracking) coupled with directional drilling revolutionized the natural gas extraction industry starting around 2009 or so, which led to a glut in natural gas production. Coal, meanwhile, is much more difficult to extract, as it involves either sending a bunch of people to go digging in expensive and technically demanding underground tunnels or blowing the tops off a bunch of mountains and moving an enormous amount of material. The bottom price to produce a BTU of gas is far, far lower than it is to produce a BTU of coal, and all forecasts suggest this gap is only going to increase. So, thanks to the simple physics of extraction, it made far more economic sense for energy companies and municipalities to shift from buying coal to buying gas. Coal demand started falling sharply at the start of the 2010s, and there's no sign of that trend reversing.
(I will point out to any potential Kentucky readers with a tendency to blame this on Obama-era regulation that this is called the "free market.")
At the same time, coal has also drawn the ire of people who understand atmospheric science and get what happens when you burn a lot of carbon and release the resulting gases into the air. The effects of climate change have become readily apparent to anybody who doesn't have a strong personal interest in not seeing them, and something like a giant coal power plant in the middle of the desert is an obvious target. It wasn't so much that the environmentalists dragged down the plant, though. They instead shifted the will of the plant's customers, specifically those down the river in the state of California. In 2018, the California legislature passed a bill banning the state from taking any power from any fossil fuel source by 2045. The City of Los Angeles was a part owner of this plant and one of its largest customers. Losing Los Angeles revenue was going to be a killer for this plant, so the owners decided to pack it in.
Mayor Bill was skeptical about how this would work out. "I don't see a state as large as California moving completely off fossil fuels in just a few years," he said. "That's an enormous demand for power, and it all has to come from somewhere. Where are they going to get it?"
The Mayor could only shrug. All he knew was that after the day after tomorrow, they wouldn't be getting it from here.
On the Canadian side near Skayway of Alaska, there are lots of these stacked rocks to greet your eyes.
Been dragging my feet on editing some of these because the negatives are streaky and will take a while to fix given that my computer is old and slow.
Here is one such image. Instead of obsessing over removing every single fleck of dust, I just did a "good enough" pass. So there may still be some defects here.

Stack of 20 Images....
I shot this with my Pentax K200D using a bellows with a reversed 50mm lens. The Bellows was extended about 3/4 of the way, and the aperture was set to f/11 or so. I finally took John Abbott's advice and used a tripod for a macro shot. In the case of a patient (or asleep) subject, it works wonders! I was able to snap over 40 pictures of this guy -- including a series with minor focal adjustments -- 20 of which contribute to this image. There is a fair amount of artifacting going on here, but considering this is my first stack of more that 4 pictures, and that I did the alignment and focus stack all manually, I think it turned out okay.

A library series must have a photo of the stacks. These are not behind closed doors, but are an integral part of the visit and architecture. Check out the Dewey Decimal numbers on the floor. As you walk down the spiral from the top floor to the bottom you pass the numbers in order.
I love books, but Flickr now sucks up much of my reading time. My 2 favorite reads of the past year are The Corrections by Jonathan Franzen and The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy.

I'm deciding on some sashing for these blocks. The sashing on the left is made from 1.5 inch strips and it seemed like too much to me. On the right, is 1.25 inch strips, so they set in at three quarters of an inch. That seems like a better size, since there will be so many of them!

My star blocks are ten inches and each Log Cabin is 5.5 inches. I had thought I'd make up that difference between the body and the border by adding a narrow spacer strip to the body before I applied the border. However, now I think I'd like each two Log Cabins to match one star block, so I'm going to trim a quarter inch on each Log Cabin from the sides where the greens meet. This will make the border fit and I really don't think it will effect the look of the Log Cabins.
Materials from a school project in Evesham. Photos taken by students through the town and along the river were merged using the Focus Stacking tools in Photoshop. They were then printed out for use in a giant collage.
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.

After chasing the Medford job, I had a little time to hang out on the main line north of Spencer. Within a short amount of time, this southbound stack train came roaring through.
