As part of our weekend away in Tenby we went on a guided walk through the Castle Martin Firing Ranges. This area is not open to the general public for obvious reasons, so we booked with "Pembrokeshire Footsteps",

who get permission to take groups onto the MOD land.

Looking up at one of the Stacks at Homestead, Pennsylvania. This is one of the industrial artifacts that remain of US Steel's mighty Homestead Steel Works, now a shopping and entertaiment venue called the Waterfront. It's pretty clear to see that Pittsburgh is nolonger the Smokey City.
A hay stacking operation typical of the early 1900s, when horsepower was used to move hay from the field, and to hoist bundles to the top of a hay stack. A derrick outfitted with ropes and pulleys enabled workers to raise large stacks. Considerable skill was required to build a stack that would shed rain without falling apart.
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 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.
Spiratone 35mm f/3.5 bellows lens on Nikon PB-4 Bellows with recycled xyz focusing stage, mounted together with some wood & screws Rube Goldberg style. The next photo is what you see through the viewfinder of those coins stacked on the stage. This setup is super easy to frame & focus and camera shake is a non-issue. You can walk it over to the window for light & move it around for the best look. Focus stacking should be a breeze, as well as stitching 'panoramas'.

Q199 swings north a pair of EMDs in the lead. It's running nearly on yellows its following so closely behind A491.
This is one of a few shots I'm working on at the moment of Charter House in Ashford, Kent. I took the shots today on the way back from the cinema and I believe the building to be a 1960's creation. It's currently being offered for office space but there doesn't seem to be many takers which is a shame. It's a three sided imposing building which I've been meaning to take some shots of for some time but I still need to go back for some fisheye work! Please view on black.
I'm not sure what function this building once performed. However, it is a welcoming sight as visitors enter the island of Galveston. The magestic stacks are readily visible.

When we got down to the beach we saw that someone had stacked at least 20 cairns. The fisherman was sitting amongst them.
General Motors cars stacked up waiting to be hauled off to the crusher. Many with good usable parts will be destroyed. I assume many of these cars were scrapped due to the high cost of transmission replacement or other costly repairs...None of them appeared to be in a collision.
