Books I selected for my friend, Brooke, who happens to be a physicist. She minored in English (lit).
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.
These Boxes show the packaging for approximately 97% of my Apple purchases from past until present. Some boxes are away in the attic, and thus it was too much of a hassle to bring the rest down for this picture ;)

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On 12 September 1984 the lighthouse was automated and the keepers withdrawn.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.
When VHS first came out, Disney made limited releases of all the Classics. Most were available for only one year and people eagerly awaited the next release. Fast forward 15 years. VHS was obsolete, those eagerly sought tapes were in thrift stores at a dollar apiece. That's when my grandchildren were little!!!! A trip to the thrift store and....Disney Magic for two little ones at Grandpa's house!!!!!
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...
With a fairly new GE up front, a Long Beach-bound intermodal exits the siding at Harwood on the Sunset Route east of San Antonio.
On a sadder note, there is some automobile debris in the grass here from a fatal collision between Amtrak and a car that ran the gates here a few days before.

Masked and removed background and replaced with a black background.
CSX No. 5327 is the Western Maryland emblem locomotive, but I didn't know that until this train was passing me. It is leading westbound stack train No. 157 at Perry, Ohio, passing the rear of an eastbound intermodal train.

Who knew I would have so much fun watching all of the machines working on the sidewalk, soon to be street too. We will be surrounded by a construction zone outside for awhile.
Machines and construction zones are not my normal subjects for photos so a fun and interesting challenge for me!

Lots of fun to create. We found the perfect place to get a full photo of this king size quilt - from the deck of the recipient's new house. It is always a challenge to hold a large quilt up high enough for a photo so was gad to find the solution!
