This is another type of rail fence. The rails are stacked on top of each other with the ends overlapping. The rails are held in place by a secured post on each side of the overlapping ends. This style is more permanent than the zigzag Virginia rail fence.
Edited NASA PR diagram for a stacked (eg, put into place ready for launch) Apollo Command and Service Modules, along with the Lunar Module.
A Volvox showing daughter colonies.
Focus stack of 11 oblique illumination images taken under the 40x objective.
Strange that under no illumination method was I able to pick up the interconnections, though some of the flagella are visible here.
Perhaps this species trades interconnections for a general continuous membrane? Upper and lower left would seem to confirm this.
Rubbermaid Stackable Recyclers make recycling easy! Three sizes can be stacked and interchanged to suit your sorting needs. The flip door makes unloading recyclables a breeze. Stickers allow you to label your bin so you can see if you are sorting glass, paper, plastic, etc. The hood snaps securely to the base so you can transport your recyclables to a facility if necessary.

This was taken in my storage room. It's really small (about 1.80 x 1.80 m = 6 x 6 feet), and contains a dozen or so stacked boxes of stuff my parents call junk. They contain mostly books and papers, but there are also empty boxes of (not so) recently purchased gadgets.
Apart from "official" moving boxes, there are plastic transparent boxes with wheels from Ikea: (VESSLA)
The reason I keep the Nikon boxes in plastic, is to prevent the silverfish from getting at them. There fewer than before, but better safe than sorry...
ODC Group 2: PILE / STACK
I made a large bunch of randomly stacked buttons... I love having these ready to use. I have been neglecting my buttons... time to play with them again!
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.

My very First Focus Stacking Project~~~~!
I finally had found a tamed dragonfly in my garden so that I could start this focus stacking project.
I did 7 shots on this juvenile beauty and stacked them with CombineZM software.

After the ice storm which hit Missouri, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Kentucky this January, thousands of trees were left limbless, with layers and layers or branches distributed across the ground. Some branches were cut up into firewood.
Cécile Brünner, the rose, is just about done for this season. Two days of high winds are forecast and they'll probably finish her off. Maybe then she'll get pruned. There's always something going on with Cécile. She's housed the wren's nest, is part of the cottage's windbreak, and climbs up and over the shade house where, despite the "monster who ate everything" frost, she kept the houseplants safe. While she was at it, three ginkgo seedlings arrived in the mail the other day and are in there too, recovering, getting used to their new home ahead of them heading off into the "wild wood" next year.
I picked the last few buds of Cécile on their skinny little stems. They don't make the best cut flowers. But they are pretty enough for a dressing table or vanity for a day or two; then this…
Fortuitously, this little vase and it's posey are roughly the size of the wren's nest, so I know the formula: 42 turns of the focussing rail, front to back. toddkeith533 favoured the notion of a small aperture for close-up photography over stacking. So, taking his advice to enhance my inherent "efficiency", or laziness, I've stopped down to f/11 and reduced the process to just seven exposures — hybridisation, if you like. While I was at it, I turned off the overhead lighting and swapped out the flash I used on the wren's nest for the less powerful 430 EXII. The results? No exposure compensation numbers were harmed, and computer time was far, far less than for however many photos I used at f/4.
What it all amounts to is a pretty little pink thing to insert among the green doom and gloom of a frozen landscape. Even wilted and drying roses are better than that!
Just a sampling of my book collection:
"Mother West Wind 'Where' Stories" by Thornton W. Burgess - 1918
"Fifth Reader" by Emma Miller Bolenius - 1919
"The Sketch Book" by Washington Irving - 1906
"Last of the Mohicans" by James Fenimore Cooper - 1905
"Tanglewood Tales" by Nathaniel Hawthorne - 1898
"The Pilgrim's Progress" by John Bunyan - 1901
Materials from a school project in Evesham. Photos taken by students through the town and along the river were merged using the Focus Stacking tools in Photoshop. They were then printed out for use in a giant collage.

About 2/3rds of my books (mostly technical, reference, science, and history) packed into boxes from our move to Japan from California a couple of years ago, finally out into the fresh air. Now I just have to find a nice bookshelf...
Love this Reading Stack idea. It's like a little diary of my reading. With that in mind, here is a list of books I'm aspiring to read in the next while.
Gypsy Guitar by David McFadden - I've read this poetry collection before and will likely read it again and again. The one with the elephants is wonderful...
Mandala Symbolism by Jung - something to apply to my bead making perhaps, perhaps more
The Madman and the Professor by Simon Winchester - the story behind the making of the Oxford English Dictionary
On Writing Well by William Zinsser - something to help me hone by own writing skills
Sex and Death to the Age 14 by Spalding Gray - just listened to his monologue 'Monster in a Box' so will follow up with this
The Poems of Catullus - these poems by the Roman born ?84 B.C., bitchy, erotic, wistful, could have been written yesterday
Singing At the Whirlpool by Miodrag Pavlovic - a collection of poetry
Fludd by Hilary Mantel, to follow up 'Beyond Black' from my last stack, which I loved
Mona Lisa Overdrive by William Gibson, some more mod speculative (science) fiction
Flashman in the Great Game by George MacDonald Fraser - another installment of the adventures of the cowardly racist, sexist bastard - a decidedly post-colonial view of the British Empire, and a great rousing adventures so far
Going Postal by Terry Pratchett - more Pratchett!
Pigs Have Wings by P.G. Wodehouse - more of the Blandings, light spright and effortless
So I guess we'll see which ones I actually get around to reading.
