A UP stack awaits a green light to head west from West Colton yard to LA, with GE 7074 leading. 5 units altogether: middle one is EMD.
This is another stack of images. This time I chose to shoot it at ISO 3200 and stacked 27 images together. There is no post noise removal. I am very impressed. This trumped the long exposure at ISO 400 where I was getting overexposure in the building and not enough in the roof. Using High ISO and lots of stacks resulted in this very clean image.
I combined all of these using photoshop and median filters to stack the images. I'm way happier with this image over my harbour image.
This is my first attempt with my new Tamron 90MM Macro lens and a series of 11 photos focus stacked.

West
South Stack Rock lies separated from Holyhead Island by 30 metres of turbulent sea, surging to and fro in continuous motion. The coastline from the breakwater and around the south western shore is made of large granite cliffs rising sheer from the sea to 60 metres.
Origins
South Stack Lighthouse was first envisaged in 1665 when a petition for a patent to erect the lighthouse was presented to Charles II. The patent was not granted and it was not until 9 February 1809 that the first light appeared to mark the rock. The lighthouse was designed by Trinity House surveyor Daniel Alexander and originally fitted with Argand oil lamps and reflectors. Around 1840 a railway was installed by means of which a lantern with a subsidiary light could be lowered down the cliff to sea level when fog obscured the main light.
On 25 October 1859 it is said that the most severe storm of the century occurred, known as the 'Royal Charter' gale; and on that and the following day over 200 vessels were either driven ashore or totally wrecked with the loss of 800 lives.The steamship Royal Charter was among these, sinking within yards of help with the loss of almost 500 passengers and crew.
In the mid 1870s the lantern and lighting apparatus was replaced by a new lantern. In 1909 an early form of incandescent light was installed and in 1927 this was replaced by a more modern form of incandescent mantle burner. The station was electrified in 1938.
Automation
On 12 September 1984 the lighthouse was automated and the keepers withdrawn. The lighthouse is now monitored and controlled from Trinity House’s Planning Centre in Harwich, Essex.
I was awaiting a stack heading west that had a UP Heritage unit (WP 1983) as the second unit, but lo and behold, this one was not the one. It turned out it was behind this one, but eventually the prized stacker was allowed to overtake and pass this one, as it came through Colton a short time later ahead of the pictured one.
The lampshade consists of three dodecahedra connected along one face. The dodecahedra are constructed with the Sunken Sonobe unit. Each pentagon of the surface is replaced by a pentagonal pyramid consisting of five equilateral triangles.

In the previous shot of Roos Tor the entire sky was ablaze with colour but, with time and sunlight very much against me, the conditions were changing very quickly. Originally I had intended to take a shot a little further away from the large boulder stack but the cloud cover in the top right of frame had disappeared leaving it almost devoid of any real colour. A quick change of position closer to the stack not only meant that the rocks now filled the void but also look a little more imposing. It’s almost as if the rock is pointing to the setting sun too. Fortunately the landscape beneath tor is still visible from this angle, which is an added bonus. What do you think? Thanks for looking. Mk

This also frustrates me: stacks of books and ephemera on the floor. Some day I'll hire an intern to help me organize everything. Some day.
The Anaconda Smelter Stack is 585 feet (178.3 m) tall. It consists of a brick chimney (555 ft, 169.2 m tall) and a concrete foundation (30 ft, 9.1 m). Though no longer in use, it is the tallest surviving brick masonry structure in the world.
I just love this quilt... it's made from my favourite line of fabrics, Moda 1974, and I got the scraps from Dana of Old Barn Co. I was inspired by a quilt Tula Pink made, and I named it Stacked because my husband thought they look like tall stacks of books :)
