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.

Shot 25 of 31 in B&W October Project
Sooooo close. My goal is to have these done before obviously not posting this weekend.
I won't hate on this one like I did my attempt at symmetry. I'm actually pretty happy with the result and am psyched what the square crop did. Shooting at 10mm then doing a 1x1 can make that depth of field seemingly last for miles. This is a decent sized cove and I was backed up to the end of the point (watching for the big, unexpected set to take me, or worse, my gear, out of commission). I love Big Sur and all I've seen up North.... but I can't stay away from Montana de Oro State Park. This stretch of about 6 miles of coast has become my favorite area in California. The weather is almost always pretty extreme, and to catch a good sunset is rare...but when you do...it just doesn't get better.
This was shot a few months back and I've been waiting to get after it as a B&W.
I'd love feedback here. I like the spot so much and am so close to the shot I'm sure I missed some details in post..

Stack 3 shots into one with 2nd bird shifted position for alignment . Wow , few more days before wedding day !
I was headed Westbound at Gold Run when I heard the UP 7631 West get talked through a MoW Gang. At that point the chase was on. Bowman and Rocklin were my last two chances to grab this train. Even after a slight detour through Loomis and headed down US-40, I still managed to beat this train between Bowman and Rocklin.

Stacks on! Here's one of the girls from Nicky's pod wrestling with two other dolphins during courtship. These guys aren't shy about mating, they'll do it anywhere... orgy's are always fun... and you gotta have an audience!

This is an anamorphic lens view of the stacks on the Notre Dame power plant. The right most stack is on the part of the power plant designed by Albert Kahn.

Have a wonderful weekend my friends :)
After a wonderful indoor picnic (lots of good food (the Beef BBQ sandwiches were killer!) and great company), We drove to Miami to catch the skyline and fireworks... there we found more Flickr friends and lots of independent fireworks masters... so the atmosphere was smokey from the get-go. I thought I had gotten some pretty good images, most were obscured or partially so by the smoke... I never have much luck (poor fireworks skills) Sigh.... so much to learn!! Should have incorporated more water for reflections, and don't really know how to get the smoke out without messing up the rest of the image... Oh, well, live and learn! Any pointers would be welcome...
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.

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.
