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.
All good books are alike in that they are truer than if they had really happened and after you are finished reading one you will feel that all that happened to you and afterwards it all belongs to you; the good and the bad, the ecstasy, the remorse, and sorrow, the people and the places and how the weather was.
- Ernest Hemingway

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.
Village near Salcombe, Devon. The street descends sharply, into a dip and then out again, revealing these "stacked" buildings with varying pastel colours. Shot with a telephoto to compress the perspective!
Stacked using Zerene Stacker trial edition. Initial impressions greatly exceed photoshop's capabilities when it comes to stacking.

It's been almost two months since I've made a top with stacks! Love this swirly fabric and I've used the first half of it in the past to make my usual octagons. This time I'll use it for a different block.

Some time ago I built a wooden flexure stage because I wanted to take focus-stacked macro photos. Originally the contraption was meant to be operated manually, but last week Sophia automated the thing as part of a homework project for her high school electronics class. An Arduino microcontroller drives a motor that advances the stage towards the camera in tiny steps, and a relay that triggers the camera. The size and the number of steps, and how much time the camera needs between steps to take a picture, are entered via an infrared remote control.
Driving to Freshwater West a while back I spotted the old house with all those stacks and noticed the way it sat against the backdrop of the stacks of one of the oil refineries on the south side of the Milford haven waterway. I used the Ef70-300 set at 225mm to get the compression I wanted in the image.

The false stack from President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s Presidential Yacht USS Potomac. The stack contained an elevator with ropes and pulleys. President Roosevelt could raise or lower himself in his wheelchair using his upper body strength. The restored yacht> is in Oakland, California, but the stack is mounted at Long Wharf Park in Cambridge, Maryland.
First session of Focus Stacking using free download Combine ZP. Doesn't seem to work with RAW files, so shot this in jpeg. There is unpleasant fringing, some of which I've removed. I got better results from shooting in RAW and then converting to jpeg: very time consuming. Equipment: Nikon D300, Nikkor 50mm manual lens, manual extension tubes. Lighting: 1 LED torch. Considering the basic equipment used, I'm pleased with this first effort.
These plastic stackable drawers cost about $7 for a set of three drawers. We screwed them into the base of the closet and into the back of the closet. They are solid as a rock - no tipping.
