Chairs Stacked at 1 Air Street, London. These chairs felt like an art installation. I had to take photos of them as if they were.

I continue experimenting with focus stacking

Most of these are going to a customer in Germany. Our little contribution to reversing the US trade deficit.
Here's a little stack of larger beads - small focals. It's not Christmassy per se but they're definitely merry and bright.
South Stack Lighthouse
The South Stack Lighthouse has warned passing ships of the treacherous rocks below since its completion in 1809. The 28 m (91 ft) lighthouse was designed by Daniel Alexander and the main light is visible to passing vessels for 28 miles, and was designed to allow safe passage for ships on the treacherous Dublin - Holyhead - Liverpool sea route. It provides the first beacon along the northern coast of Anglesey for east-bound ships. It is followed by lighthouses, fog horns and other markers at North Stack, Holyhead breakwater, The Skerries, the Mice and at the north-east tip of the island Trwyn-Du. The lighthouse is operated remotely by Trinity House.It has been visited by the team at Most Haunted.
Visitors can climb to the top of the lighthouse and tour the engine room and exhibition area. The lighthouse is open seasonally.
Access
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 Ellin's Tower.
The Anglesey Coastal Path passes South Stack. The Cybi Circular Walk includes South Stack. The short walk is 4 miles long and takes around 2 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.
Thin oatmeal buttermilk pancakes (crepes) filled with cottage cheese, folded in envelopes, served with homemade maple-pecan granola. I ate this stack, reverent, savouring each bite. Oh pancakes. How I love them! No matter what kind of recipe I use, they make every morning so much better!
Ik weet niet hoe lang dit hek al in gebruik is, maar ik zag het gisteren pas voor het eerst...

When you do a lot of travel photography, you arrive at the places you arrive when you arrive at them. And it may not be the optimal time to photograph the subject you are standing in front of, but you take what you can get because it is likely to be the only time you pass before said subject.
The Londrangar Sea Stacks, on the south side of the Snaefellsnes peninsula, were such a subject. We were mostly shooting into the sun by the time we arrived and while this clearly was an amazing vantage point, on the edge of the Atlantic, I could only imagine it at sunrise or sunset. And yet that is what I will have to make do with until I return to Snaefellsnes one spring day with something less than 21 hours of daylight. It will have to do...
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.

I sequestered myself in Powell Library one afternoon, desperate to get some work done on a U.N. paper I was ill-equipped to write. Needless to say, I devoted more attention to taking this picture than to my paper.
This water was ice cold but I got so into what I was doing that I was calf deep in it for well over an hour.
Been dragging my feet on editing some of these because the negatives are streaky and will take a while to fix given that my computer is old and slow.
Here is one such image. Instead of obsessing over removing every single fleck of dust, I just did a "good enough" pass. So there may still be some defects here.

I made these in the early summer of 1977 when I was pregnant with my baby due on July 27th, 1977. There is a bell inside each one. Kris, our son, finally arrived on August 7th. During Xmas holidays in 2009, we drove to IN to see my twin and brother-in-law along with her oldest daughter, son-in-law and their ten-month-old son, Finn. I brought these plastic canvas blocks, Duplo blocks and several LEGO sets (all toys that our son, Kris, had; and he agreed to let us take for Finn) with us. These toys were played with by Finn and his dad a lot during our visit. Mommy Michelle was able to find room in their suitcases to take them back to Australia. Little did I know in 1977 when I made the toy blocks that they would eventually end up in Australia with Australian relatives.
