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.

My star blocks are ten inches and each Log Cabin is 5.5 inches. I had thought I'd make up that difference between the body and the border by adding a narrow spacer strip to the body before I applied the border. However, now I think I'd like each two Log Cabins to match one star block, so I'm going to trim a quarter inch on each Log Cabin from the sides where the greens meet. This will make the border fit and I really don't think it will effect the look of the Log Cabins.
stacked eyelet cowl
the knittery cashmere merino sock (old put up)
i kind of love this cowl- i added an additional ten stitches, which i slightly regret but i am still very happy with how it turned out overall!

A challenging stack this one , 3 hand held images taken in low light on a leaf that wouldn't stay still due to the breeze.
To be honest I didn't think it would turn out and selected shutter priority mode in the hope of being able to freeze the movement of the leaf.
Its quite a noisy picture as the bridge camera doesn't like low light.

Materials from a school project in Evesham. Photos taken by students through the town and along the river were merged using the Focus Stacking tools in Photoshop. They were then printed out for use in a giant collage.

Pumpkins in the Park
Beloit Daily News - Jack-o'-lanterns light the way for new event - By Holly Johns
Community members are bringing a new illuminating event to downtown Beloit Saturday. Beloit's first ever “Pumpkins in the Park” will be held from 5:30-7 p.m. at Horace White Park.
Bill Dorr suggested the idea to help raise funds to beautify and sustain the park. About a decade ago, he had visited a small town named White Fish Bay where an older gentleman called “the pumpkin man” would carve pumpkins and display them in the park.

Smoke stack still standing at the site of the Calumet & Hecla Mining Company's shaft #4 in Calumet, Michigan. View Large On Black.
Extra info provided by dcclark: It was attached to the "Superior" engine house, the name given to the engine by the company because it was HUGE!
The Calumet and Hecla Mining Company was a major copper-mining company, based in the Michigan "Copper Country." In the 1800s, the company paid out over $72 million in shareholder dividends, more than any other mining company in the United States during that period. For more information about the mining era in the Copper Country, go here. And click here to see an old photo of this same stack in its heyday, from the mtu archives.

South Stack Lighthouse, Anglesey.
South Stack is set in a spectacular location to the north-west of Holyhead. The lighthouse acts as a waymark for coastal traffic and a landmark and orientation light for vessels crossing the Irish Sea to and from the ports of Holyhead and Dun Laoghaire.
History of the lighthouse
In 1645 when lighthouses were privately owned, King Charles II was petitioned for a patent to build a lighthouse on South Stack. The request was refused. However, 143 years after the original petition, Trinity House leased South Stack island and construction of the lighthouse commenced. On 9 February 1809, the station's oil lamps, designed by Daniel Alexander at a cost of £12,000, were first lit. In 1828 an iron suspension bridge was built to replace the rope catwalk that originally linked the lighthouse to the bottom of the 400 steps down the cliff face.
This was one of the many changes that have taken place at South Stack since 1809. The lights regularly became more efficient and in 1938 electric power replaced the oil that powered the lamps. In 1964 the iron bridge was taken down and a new one of aluminium was put up in its place.
The lighthouse was automated in 1984, and the keepers withdrawn. Today, the lighthouse is monitored and controlled by computer link from Trinity House Operations Centre in Harwich, Essex.
