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.
These are now gone. From an industrial site in Baltimore -- it was being torn down even as I was shooting this picture.
A westbound stack train has just come off the Dearborn Division at Butler, or CP358 Railroad wise, and turned onto the NS Huntington District on the Lake Division. It's got about 90 more railroad miles to Peru, Indiana where it will swap out crews, and continue onto Decatur, where it will either go to St. Louis or Kansas City.
Taken the 25th of October, 2014, in Butler, Indiana, on the NS Lake Division, Huntington District, (former Wabash Peru-Detroit main.)
One of my all-time favorite stacking fabrics. I've made at least two previous stacked tops with this fabric.

Spiratone 35mm f/3.5 bellows lens on Nikon PB-4 Bellows with recycled xyz focusing stage, mounted together with some wood & screws Rube Goldberg style. The next photo is what you see through the viewfinder of those coins stacked on the stage. This setup is super easy to frame & focus and camera shake is a non-issue. You can walk it over to the window for light & move it around for the best look. Focus stacking should be a breeze, as well as stitching 'panoramas'.

I'm going to make some Tri Recs stars with a stacked background and different, light traditional fabrics for the star. I like this star both ways, but I especially like it on point. We'll see what I decide to do with them.
I've posted pictures of these figurines before. This time I used an ancient 105mm Nikkor fixed focal length medium tele from my old Nikon F2 35mm film camera. All shots are hand-held and the ISO was only 200. I focused on the faces of each figurine approximately 15 feet across the room and made 3 shots --- then blended them in PS CS5.1. I wasn't looking for extreme sharpness here. I just wanted to see if I could create a pleasant still life
Sitting by the George's River today working so I set up the camera with an automatic timer remote. Unfortunately ran out of battery but managed to get 32 x 30 second exposures with a 10 stop and 3 stop screw in filter attached to the lens.
Stacked in Photoshop using Dr Brown's and processed in NIK. I have since tried manually processing this shot and realised that NIK was responsible for the texture in the water. The original file is super SMOOTH so maybe 16 minutes is worth it after all!
Effectively a 16 minute exposure. Not sure I see the benefit in going that long.
A close-up abstract shot of stacked firewood, highlighting the intricate details and textures of the cut logs. The varying shades of brown and the rough bark create a warm and rustic visual appeal.
There were some very colorful plates in the pizza parlour. They looked pretty cool all stacked up. Here they are, PS'd and rotated.
The octagons are ready for their corners. Since the four stacks were already stacked, making the octagons went pretty quickly.
