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 are now gone. From an industrial site in Baltimore -- it was being torn down even as I was shooting this picture.
A westbound stack train has just come off the Dearborn Division at Butler, or CP358 Railroad wise, and turned onto the NS Huntington District on the Lake Division. It's got about 90 more railroad miles to Peru, Indiana where it will swap out crews, and continue onto Decatur, where it will either go to St. Louis or Kansas City.
Taken the 25th of October, 2014, in Butler, Indiana, on the NS Lake Division, Huntington District, (former Wabash Peru-Detroit main.)
For daily challenge 4th March. I did wanna do all my 17 Dick Francis books but it didnt come out as well as I'd hoped. Some of these CD's I've had since I was little
The Great Ocean Road is an Australian National Heritage listed 243-kilometre stretch of road along the south-eastern coast of Australia between the Victorian cities of Torquay and Warrnambool.
The road was built by returned soldiers between 1919 and 1932, and is the world's largest war memorial; dedicated to casualties of World War I. It is an important tourist attraction in the region, which winds through varying terrain alongside the coast, and provides access to several prominent landmarks; including the nationally significant Twelve Apostles limestone stack formations.

I'm going to make some Tri Recs stars with a stacked background and different, light traditional fabrics for the star. I like this star both ways, but I especially like it on point. We'll see what I decide to do with them.
I've posted pictures of these figurines before. This time I used an ancient 105mm Nikkor fixed focal length medium tele from my old Nikon F2 35mm film camera. All shots are hand-held and the ISO was only 200. I focused on the faces of each figurine approximately 15 feet across the room and made 3 shots --- then blended them in PS CS5.1. I wasn't looking for extreme sharpness here. I just wanted to see if I could create a pleasant still life
I wanted to try this design using just leftover six and eight stacks. I always like scrappy mixes of lots of fabrics :)
I have a plan! I knew I wanted the octagons as a border, but it took a while to decide what to put in the middle. There are three sets of eight stacks around the outside of the star and I positioned them to have the most black around the outside to give kind of an airy effect. I'll put the corners on some octagons and sew them together to see what size spacer strip I need around the middle to make it fit the border. I'm headed off to our family Thanksgiving, which we've always celebrated on the Saturday following Thanksgiving so people could all get to places they wanted to be. My son is our Thanksgiving cook and he does a great job :)
A close-up abstract shot of stacked firewood, highlighting the intricate details and textures of the cut logs. The varying shades of brown and the rough bark create a warm and rustic visual appeal.
There were some very colorful plates in the pizza parlour. They looked pretty cool all stacked up. Here they are, PS'd and rotated.
From 13 different focal lengths. In-camera processed JPEG on top, RAW-processed and focus-stacked image on bottom.
I had an idea in my head so had to start something new.... Another 12 blocks must be made I think, in order to tie all these colours together.
Macro setup - this is a 75-300mm Canon lens (right) stacked against a reversed Rikenon 35-70mm via a reversing ring. When both lenses are at their extreme (35mm vs 300mm) the magnification factor is 8.5x (300 / 35). This results in the full frame being ~2mm along the long edge, which on the 350D (sensor 22.2 mm × 14.8mm) works out to a macro factor of about 10x.
This arrangement replaces the $1.35 Pringles can solution. It's worth the $15-20 for the reversing ring ;)
You can see photos taken with the setup under my Lens Stacking tag.
First day of operations at the new IMT Terminal at quay 730 at the Delwaide dock.
The first vessel to call is the NileDutch operated Domingo (IMO 9215672) which calls on Antwerp, Le Havre, Lisbon, Algeciras, Tanger Med, Pointe Noire, Luanda, Lobito, Namibe, Douala, Tema, Abidjan, Algeciras and back to Antwerp.
The terminal will move from its present location at the Hansa dock to this location which was previously occupied by the MPET Terminal (MSC Home).
On this first day of operations, both terminals, old and new received a vessel with a ICL vessel bound for the USA calling at the Hansa dock
