40m tall chimney stack, remnant of the old copper mine in Burraga. Built in the late 1800's, closed down in the early 1900's.
47km from Oberon, NSW.
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.
These stacks are at the rear of some large houses near the Uplands shops but only visible from the rear lane. The one of the left is topped by a row of fourteen pots, quite amazing! The house on the right has another stack identical to this one. Sketching them was a great way of celebrating the first warm day of the year.
The third floor of the Library has thousands of books in the "stacks". The books are organized by subject through the Library of Congress classification system.
An interesting move for Saturday morning. X100 turns south at Deshler, bound for Cincinnati with a train of double stacks behind.

A stack of cafe chairs during the day, waiting for the evening when they will be put to use ... and the whole footpath comes to life with food, drink, and smoking customers all jolly and happy.
