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.

South Stack Lighthouse, Anglesey.
South Stack is set in a spectacular location to the north-west of Holyhead. The lighthouse acts as a waymark for coastal traffic and a landmark and orientation light for vessels crossing the Irish Sea to and from the ports of Holyhead and Dun Laoghaire.
History of the lighthouse
In 1645 when lighthouses were privately owned, King Charles II was petitioned for a patent to build a lighthouse on South Stack. The request was refused. However, 143 years after the original petition, Trinity House leased South Stack island and construction of the lighthouse commenced. On 9 February 1809, the station's oil lamps, designed by Daniel Alexander at a cost of £12,000, were first lit. In 1828 an iron suspension bridge was built to replace the rope catwalk that originally linked the lighthouse to the bottom of the 400 steps down the cliff face.
This was one of the many changes that have taken place at South Stack since 1809. The lights regularly became more efficient and in 1938 electric power replaced the oil that powered the lamps. In 1964 the iron bridge was taken down and a new one of aluminium was put up in its place.
The lighthouse was automated in 1984, and the keepers withdrawn. Today, the lighthouse is monitored and controlled by computer link from Trinity House Operations Centre in Harwich, Essex.
this beautifully built stacked stone fireplace is actually an exterior fireplace that is part of a patio setting. What a great way to warm a cold winter night by just sitting outside wrapped in a blanket with your loved one and enjoying the flicker of firelight.
This is another one from Saturday taken at Castlemartin. I have to say I was extremely grateful there was no firing going on !! What amazing views.
sorry
i made lots
i got up at 5.30am whilst on holiday one day to go to the cove and stack. The peace and tranquility was immense.
i built a set of 18 stacks in perfect alignment across the cove. unfortunately 18 sacks in a single line don't photograph well. they looked bloody brilliant though. as you walked in and out of the alignment you either saw one or a mass of stacks.
inspired by the master bebalance www.flickr.com/photos/rocker/sets/72157602341391436/ i tried counterbalancing stones. it made for more delicately balanced stacks.
i am going to upload the rest of the photos later. there are far too many but feel i have to put them all up.

South Stack lighthouse is located on a rocky islet situated off the east coast of Anglesey, north Wales. It was built in 1809, and is 28 metres tall, standing about 60 metres overall above sea level. In good visibility the light can be seen from nearly 30 miles away.
The lighthouse can be visited, but only by descending - and then ascending - the 400 steps down the steep cliff face. The surrounding cliffs are used by thousands of sea birds, particularly guillemots, as nesting sites.

Smoke stacks atop the Biological Research & Diagnostics (BiRD) facility, University of Alaska Fairbanks.
The uniformly clouded sky hung like a middle gray backdrop behind the stacks and they practically begged to be photographed! Like a small, close-knit family, the individuals seem to crowd together for safety against a tall, slender father figure who has braced himself for a coming storm. I enjoy anthropomorphizing objects in my surroundings through photography.

This is an experiment with focus stacking using the "CombineZ5" software. Works very good as I think. This image has a rather small size; couldn't get larger ones than 1600 pixels to work.
Admittedly, this image is dull. But I like the quality.
Very promising technique, but requires a tripod (at least if I do it).
Setup:
- Konica-Minolta Dynax 5D on a tripod
- Cosina 100mm f/3.5 macro lens without 1:1 adapter (it's 1:3 or something)
- Wireless flash Minolta HS-3600(D) from low left
- ISO 100, 1/250, f8, manual program
Stacked image from only two different shots. One with focus on the leaf, one with focus on the whatever-it's-called-english.
Look at the master of macro's photos: Lord V's Photostream
To go with our stacks of books? I'm thinking the students were getting a little punchy at the end of finals.
(The student here is not responsible for this stack of chairs. He was only part of my photographic investigation.)
A focus stacked photo of a Broad-palmed Frog (Litoria latopalmata). I like the effect of focus stacking, but my camera cannot do it with the flash turned on. Therefore, I am left to try on frogs I find in the day.

It's my first stack of twos, to be used as my spending money from now on. No star notes, but they are consecutive serial numbers from Minneapolis. Strangely enough, Where's George? shows that nearly half of all the two's in their system come from Minneapolis.
