Vintage lacquer stackable snack dishes. I suspect they were produced in Japan but they don't have any markings.
Stacks keep me interested because, even though I have a general idea of what a stack will look like, there are always elements of the finished block that surprise me. On top are three eight-stacks of diamonds and below them are the blocks they made. These are cut from a 2.5 inch strip, so when the seam allowances are taken, the finished block looks quite different from the stack set.
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.

Thus was a very simple set-u to show how the built-in focus shift feature works at a recent Paul's Photo event in Torrance, CA.
Two UP Stack trains meet in Traver, CA. This is a small town of about 700 people along the SR-99 "valley" corridor of the Central Valley of California. Traver is known for its grain exports.
Today these two stack trains waste no time blazing through town, even with an older Southern Pacific (now UP) loco second out on the Westbound (Compass North) train.

Somehow, the chimney from the Caledonian Distillery survived the wrecker's ball and serves as a fine landmark and reminder of the area's industrial past. Established in 1885 by the Menzies family, it became at one time the largest patent still grain distillery in Europe. The Menzies also owned the Sunbury Distillery on the Water of Leith. Ownership of "The Caley" later passed to the Distillers Company Limited (DCL) as the grain whisky industry consolidated around this organisation.
DCL was purchased in 1986 by Guiness (which became the subject of the Guiness Fraud) and was merged by the new owners with Arthur Bell & Sons in 1987 to form United Distillers. The Caledonian Distillery was closed in 1988, but United Distillers (now Diageo) have a part share in the nearby North British Distillery at which they continue to produce grain spirit for their blended whiskies.
The surrounding buildings have either been raised or the finer examples converted to flats, the most that any of Edinburgh's industrial landmarks can really expect.
A Westbound stack train with BNSF power holds at the interlocking, lots of reefers on the first block of cars...the clip-on gen-sets are converted from A-Line trailer reefer units by shortening them.
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.

Stack of oversize books, including two atlases of the imaginary! Plus a large, vintage atlas (bottom of stack), a hardback copy produced in the early 1990s of George Stubb's Horse Anatomy (I so snatched this one up when I found it!) and a book detailing heritage trees of the Great State of Texas.
Used book finds, Fall 2011.
A pair of trains cross at Cable. The coil train locos barely visible above the single stacked containers in the distance.

Very large straw stack on fire next to the A428 in Eynesbury, Cambs.
1 crew from St Neots in attendance supervising.
Stacked books, polymer clay pendant. It is just over 1 inch (3 cm) tall.
I usually make much bigger stuff but I love these little books. They make me smile.
This is 10 images at 2.5s, 10 at 3.2s, and 10 at 4s, clipped and leveled in Aperture 2.1, and stacked in WinImages. All were shot at ƒ/2.8 and ISO 3200 with an EOS 40D and Canon's 100mm ƒ/2.8 macro lens around 4:15 AM April 3rd, 2008 from a tripod with 2s shutter holdoff. Focus was manual on Jupiter. The 100mm, at ƒ/2.8 wide open, is almost impossible to focus on a star.
The dumbbell nebula is 0°15'12", which makes it about as small a deep space object as I'd care to try and shoot without a long lens and a tracking mount; at magnitude 7.30, it isn't exactly bright, either. Add in the inability to see any stars at all to focus, and frankly, I feel pretty good about this result. :-)
If I ever add the ƒ/2L 135mm to my Canon lens collection, I may try for this again; that's another stop of light sensitivity along with more magnification.
