I wanted an alternate block with these stacks and, at first, I thought of a Shoo Fly block because I like them on point. However, that seemed like way more black than I wanted, so I left out the center and made the corners smaller triangles than a half square triangle would have been. We'll see how these look as I get a few more made.
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.
A plan....I'm going to use some stacked square in a square blocks for one round and have the rest in octagons.

:)
Scanned through this pendaflex stack (90 pages), with the included software that converts them to OCR for search capability, all in about an hour. Sure beats flat-panel scanners. Still about 6 full file drawers to tackle!
The Akron Railroad Club recently had its annual outing to Vermilion, Ohio. We spent the morning at the South Street boat launch on the Vermilion River watching Norfolk Southern trains cross the bridge. Shown is a westbound stack train as seen from the upper parking lot.
Sometimes, the smaller scale prints make good stacks, just very different from the large scale print results :)
I have six repeats of this fabric, so I'm thinking of two sets of six-stacks and twelve background fabric blades for some 24 blade Dresdens. We'll see how they look!
Canadian Pacific ES44AC 8870 leads westbound stack train through Rondout, IL. The track crossing the shot formerly belonged to the Elgin Joliet & Eastern Railway, now part of Canadian National.
Although there isn't much contrast to this piece, I'm going to make some stacks and should get some very subtle designs.

Drystone wall on the approach to Levant Mine on the Atlantic Coast of Cornwall.
The chimney stack in the background is part of the remains of the compressor and power house.
More impressive than the depth of the mines at Levant, is that they extend so extensively under the ocean. With the old style of digging only where the valuable material can be found, the tunnels actually extend back up from the lower levels beneath the sea bed.
It is said that at certain levels in bad weather it was possible to hear the rocks on the sea bed moving about above the mine.
A few images from a recent visit to Stack Rock fort. It is testament to the skill of the engineers and builders of the day that the main structure is still in such good condition.
