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The lighthouse was automated in 1984, and the keepers withdrawn.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.
After chasing the Medford job, I had a little time to hang out on the main line north of Spencer. Within a short amount of time, this southbound stack train came roaring through.

This is the front and back cover for PKR's Stacked magazine issue 013 - The Luck Issue starring Vladimir 'Beyne' Geshkenbein.
The cover concept was based on the famous Esquire cover of Muhammed Ali posing like St. Sebastian. We wanted to inject a depiction of luck into the cover so we opted to create a back cover where you could see the photoshoot in process with Beyne's fingers crossed behind his back.

Our house seems to function (or dis-function) in stacks of stuff right now. The funny thing is that if it gets moved, there is a great chance that it will be harder to find....hmmm. Also, kind of an eclectic pile of stuff.

Gregory Tinkler, freshman studying exercise science
Where do Jayhawks go when they need to focus? Gregory Tinkler goes to Watson Library.
This time Tinkler decided the try the stacks because he’d heard it was quiet, solitary place to study. He captured this photo when he noticed the colorful symmetry of shelves full of books.
I've made this sashing before, so I should be used to it, but every time, as I get near the end, I'm saying to myself, "I need more? Really?!" It's all made now and I do love the way it looks, which is why I'm sure I'll do it again sometime :)
These wonderful looking street lamps are in the parking lot of the JellyBellyCandyCompany Fairfield ca.
First attempt at free motion stippling. Hmmm, Lots of huge stitches. Lots of little bitty ones. Lots of weird shapes. And my quilt isn't square or straight. Oh well, I learned a lot. Picnic size? Completed April 2011. Complete with wrinkled from folding.

Half nature, half ruins... who needs the rule of thirds, anyway?
The "mouth" of an old stack, at or near the Adventure Mine (yes, that was its real name!) last fall. This was the opening which would have led into the adjacent boiler building.
Still catching up on some old photos...
Edit, many years later: Actually, this was for the Mass mine, not Adventure. Whoops! They are neighbors...
