South Stack Lighthouse, Anglesey.
South Stack is set in a spectacular location to the north-west of Holyhead. The lighthouse acts as a waymark for coastal traffic and a landmark and orientation light for vessels crossing the Irish Sea to and from the ports of Holyhead and Dun Laoghaire.
History of the lighthouse
In 1645 when lighthouses were privately owned, King Charles II was petitioned for a patent to build a lighthouse on South Stack. The request was refused. However, 143 years after the original petition, Trinity House leased South Stack island and construction of the lighthouse commenced. On 9 February 1809, the station's oil lamps, designed by Daniel Alexander at a cost of £12,000, were first lit. In 1828 an iron suspension bridge was built to replace the rope catwalk that originally linked the lighthouse to the bottom of the 400 steps down the cliff face.
This was one of the many changes that have taken place at South Stack since 1809. The lights regularly became more efficient and in 1938 electric power replaced the oil that powered the lamps. In 1964 the iron bridge was taken down and a new one of aluminium was put up in its place.
The lighthouse was automated in 1984, and the keepers withdrawn. Today, the lighthouse is monitored and controlled by computer link from Trinity House Operations Centre in Harwich, Essex.
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.

Half nature, half ruins... who needs the rule of thirds, anyway?
The "mouth" of an old stack, at or near the Adventure Mine (yes, that was its real name!) last fall. This was the opening which would have led into the adjacent boiler building.
Still catching up on some old photos...
Edit, many years later: Actually, this was for the Mass mine, not Adventure. Whoops! They are neighbors...

Feeling tonnes better today.... I think the change in weather has helped. Mister sunshine had his hat on. Was lovely to walk home from the Metro with no jacket on.
Decisions, decisions...... sometimes you struggle to get one photo you like then other days you can't choose. This was one of those days. ODC's challenge was Stack/Pile, surprisingly I opted for Lego, AGAIN. However, I did have a couple of other photos that I liked one of some playing cards stacked up in a pyramid, and the other a tower of apples.
