This is a smoke stack on the Port Washington Generating Station. The plant is gas fired. On a cold day like today, the emissions are really visible.
Photographed using a Sony Alpha A7R using a Nikkor 300mm f/4 lens.
4 Stacks from 115 images and differend light figuration combined
This was taken with f16, Panasonic 45-175mm and Raynox DCR-150. The interresting thing about some telezoom lenses is, that their sharpest possible aperture in combination with raynox dcr lenses is f16, and the picture quality is much above the native quality of the teelezoom lens. In stacking f16 brings often much better results than f4, because of the smaler seams around overlapping objects.
Between Ash Street and Brighton Park crossings in Chicago, NS 3515, an ex-BN SD40-2, leads NS 3445 and NS SD60E 6944 with a Global I - 47th Street stack transfer run, moving southward and crossing over from CSX's B&OCT onto former Chicago Junction (NYC, Conrail) rails. Number 3445 is one of a couple dozen rebuilt by Conrail from straight-SD40s; this group is currently being traded to CSX for their SD80MACs. The Adlai Stevenson Expressway (I-55) and CSX's bridges over the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal are visible in the distance.
Another Anemone picture taken at the CBG. I wanted sharpness all through this flower, but not in the background. So I decided to try focus stacking. Fortunately this was inside, so no problem with wind. This is just two pictures merged. One picture was taken focusing on the petals and the other on the stamen.
I then used PSE, layering the two images and selctively merged the layers. It seems like a valid technique. May have to try this again with something that has greater depth than this Anemone.
A Marine stack takes cover behind a protective blanket during an explosion Aug. 28, 2013, while completing a demolitions training evolution at a demo range in the Central Training Area in Okinawa, Japan. The knowledge of the different types of explosives in urban mobility breaching is vital to combat engineers as they perform a key role in a war-time theater. The Marines are combat engineers with 9th Engineer Support Battalion, 3rd Marine Logistics Group, III Marine Expeditionary Force.

American actor Robert Stack (1919-2003) became a star as Deanne Durbin's young lover in Henry Koster's First love (1939). After the war, he had massive success with Douglas Sirk's drama Written on the Wind (1956) for which he was nominated for the Oscar. Internationally, he became famous as Elliot Ness in the TV series The Untouchables (1959-1963).
Robert Stack was born Charles Langford Modini Stack in Los Angeles, in 1919. His first name, selected by his mother, was changed to Robert by his father, a professional soldier Robert was the grandson of Marina Perrini, an opera singer at the Scala theatre in Milan. When little Robert was five, his father was transferred to the US embassy in France. Robert went to school in Paris and learnt French rather than his mother tongue. At 11, he returned to America, and at 13, he became a top athlete. His brother and he won the International Outboard Motor Championships, in Venice, Italy, and at age 16, he became a member of the All-American Skeet Team. He played polo, saxophone and clarinet at Southern California University. A broken wrist ended his career as a sports athlete. He took drama classes and made his stage debut at 20. He joined Universal Studios in 1939. In his first film, he starred as Deanne Durbin's young lover in First love (Henry Koster, 1939). He gave the teenage film star her first on-screen kiss. Around this "event," Universal producer Joe Pasternak provided a lot of publicity. Stack established himself as an actor and the following year he appeared as a young Nazi in The Mortal Storm (Frank Borzage, 1940) alongside Margaret Sullavan and James Stewart. Stack was reunited with Durbin in Pasternak's musical Nice Girl? (William A. Seiter, 1941). In 1942 he appeared as a Polish Air Force pilot in Ernst Lubitsch's comedy To Be or Not to Be (1942) starring Carole Lombard and Jack Benny. The plot concerns a troupe of actors in Nazi-occupied Warsaw who use their acting abilities to fool the occupying troops. The film has become recognised as a comedy classic. Stack played another pilot in Eagle Squadron (Arthur Lubin, 1942), a huge hit. Then Stack's career was interrupted by military service. He did duty as a gunnery instructor in the United States Navy during World War II.
After World War II, Robert Stack continued his career. He returned to the screen with roles in films such as Fighter Squadron (Raoul Walsh, 1948) with Edmond O'Brien and A Date with Judy (Richard Thorpe, 1948) with Elizabeth Taylor. In 1952 Stack starred in Bwana Devil (Arch Oboler, 1952), the first major film production in 3D. He played the second leading role alongside John Wayne in William A. Wellman's aviation drama It's Always Day (1954). Sam Fuller cast him in the lead of House of Bamboo (1955), shot in Japan. Stack enjoyed one of his greatest successes with Douglas Sirk's drama Written in the Wind (1956). He received an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor for his portrayal of the alcoholic playboy Kyle Hadley. From the late 1950s Stack turned increasingly to television. Internationally, Robert became famous with his role in the television series The Untouchables in which he starred as the clean-cut Chicago police officer Eliot Ness during the Prohibition era. Around 120 episodes were made between 1959 and 1963. Other leading roles followed for Stack in the television series The Name of the Game (1968-1971), Most Wanted (1976) and Strike Force (1981). The multilingual Stack also took the lead role in the German-language film Die Hölle von Macao/The Hell of Macau (James Hill, 1966) alongside Elke Sommer, and he also appeared in French- or Italian-language productions. With advancing age, Stack also frequently took on deadpan comedy roles that lampooned his dramatic on-screen persona in films such as 1941 (Steven Spielberg, 1979), Airplane! (Jim Abrahams, David Zucker, Jerry Zucker, 1980) or Caddyshack II (Allan Arkush, 1988). Between 1987 and 2002 he was the host of the television series Unsolved Mysteries, which was dedicated to mysterious murder cases. He worked as an actor until his death. In 1956 he married actress Rosemarie Bowe (1932-2019), to whom he was married until the end of his life. The couple had two children. Robert Stack died of pneumonia in 2003 in Beverly Hills at the age of 84 and was buried in Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery.

Desks and their accompanying chairs lay strewn about an abandoned classroom, many of them stacked upon one another just as they were when they were left there just shy of a decade ago on the afternoon of March 22, 2021, in the abandoned Pound, VA, high school.
