Taken for Utata's Iron Photographer 307.

I have been searching for a new photography project for far too long. I would search through different Flickr groups trying to find some inspiration. It was quite frustrating. Then suddenly, with the most full sense of irony (sorry), I remembered that I have a photography project that I love and have been ignoring for no good reason. And so I rejoin Iron Photographer., with many projects to catch up on.

Have a wonderful weekend my friends :)
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.

There was some discussion on the ICE Rail group today about the possibility of double-stacks on the IC&E via the Kansas City connection with KCS. One report said CP was making track adjustments under the CN (IC) bridge at Genoa to accommodate stacks.
I recalled photographing some UP overhead stack trains on the I&M Rail Link, and dug up this one of stacks coming under said bridge on 4-5-2000...so I'm not sure what work needed done if it was indeed for future stack traffic. Either way, this is interesting news...
The stacking of molecules is not only restricted to twist folds.
It is also possible with other sorts of 90 degrees pleat intersections. This is just one of the first tries.
Here the second intersection fold is not really visible. It is on the other side of the paper.

Region
West
South Stack Rock lies separated from Holyhead Island by 30 metres of turbulent sea, surging to and fro in continuous motion. The coastline from the breakwater and around the south western shore is made of large granite cliffs rising sheer from the sea to 60 metres.
Origins
South Stack Lighthouse was first envisaged in 1665 when a petition for a patent to erect the lighthouse was presented to Charles II. The patent was not granted and it was not until 9 February 1809 that the first light appeared to mark the rock. The lighthouse was designed by Trinity House surveyor Daniel Alexander and originally fitted with Argand oil lamps and reflectors. Around 1840 a railway was installed by means of which a lantern with a subsidiary light could be lowered down the cliff to sea level when fog obscured the main light.
On 25 October 1859 it is said that the most severe storm of the century occurred, known as the 'Royal Charter' gale; and on that and the following day over 200 vessels were either driven ashore or totally wrecked with the loss of 800 lives.The steamship Royal Charter was among these, sinking within yards of help with the loss of almost 500 passengers and crew.
In the mid 1870s the lantern and lighting apparatus was replaced by a new lantern. In 1909 an early form of incandescent light was installed and in 1927 this was replaced by a more modern form of incandescent mantle burner. The station was electrified in 1938.
Automation
On 12 September 1984 the lighthouse was automated and the keepers withdrawn. The lighthouse is now monitored and controlled from Trinity House’s Planning Centre in Harwich, Essex.

South Stack lighthouse is located on a rocky islet off the east coast of Anglesey, north Wales. It was built in 1809, and is 28 metres tall, standing about 60 metres overall above sea level.
The lighthouse can be visited, but only by descending - and the ascending - the 400 steps down the steep cliff face. The surrounding cliffs are used by thousands of sea birds, particularly guillemots, as nesting sites.

there's something almost post-apocalyptic about this photo for me...
in any case, lets hope the apocalypse can wait because today i am heading down to san jose, ca. shawn's parents are down there, so we are going to visit and for some business: he's playing in a charity golf tournament on saturday and i am running in the silicon Valley 1/2 marathon on sunday.
while shawn is golfing on saturday, i am heading to san francisco to see the richard avedon exhibit and to meet suz or sooze. I believe that rebecca is joining us too. so excited to meet more flickr buds! :-)

South Stack is an island situated just off Holy Island on the North West coast of Anglesey. It is famous as the location of one of Wales' most spectacular lighthouses.
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.[1] 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.

in this view of the gold and black plume agate, you can see the end from where I took off the polished nub I first uploaded the photograph of on Dec. 22nd. On the damaged, outside edge, I had spotted the faint outline of a plume-like structure, which is why I decided to pick it up and keep it. It certainly was not a very pretty or impressive looking specimen, but I just had a feeling it might be something good.

This photo was shot from a suburban city setting! Its a Median Stack of 58 10 sec Canon 5D Mark II photos, pushed ISO 6400, using a 50mm 1.4 @ f/2 on a clear, freezing night with good seeing (and no moon) for ultimate light sensitivity. Isn't it amazing just how many stars are out there? The center star is the North Star aka Polaris. I originally shot this series as a timelapse for this piece: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jT8AIcpjU58
