Although there isn't much contrast to this piece, I'm going to make some stacks and should get some very subtle designs.
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.
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.
Stacks keep me interested because, even though I have a general idea of what a stack will look like, there are always elements of the finished block that surprise me. On top are three eight-stacks of diamonds and below them are the blocks they made. These are cut from a 2.5 inch strip, so when the seam allowances are taken, the finished block looks quite different from the stack set.
A few images from a recent visit to Stack Rock fort. It is testament to the skill of the engineers and builders of the day that the main structure is still in such good condition.
I was standing on the sidewalk trying to figure out why I was hearing a diesel engine and pinging noises..I then realized that this was the answer to my question.
This is one of the most unique pizza delivery vehicles I've ever seen
A Westbound stack train with BNSF power holds at the interlocking, lots of reefers on the first block of cars...the clip-on gen-sets are converted from A-Line trailer reefer units by shortening them.
Once I figure out the numbers on the color combinations and which way the colors end on the Log Cabins, this design begins to come together. Although you can't see it in the picture, the blacks are mostly black with some kind of dark gray design, so they have a scrappy look. This is one of those designs that would do well with a slightly larger design wall!
Just for fun!
I love the look of cookie stacks weird I know but I was messing around with one of my sugar cookie recipes/flavors and loved the way these stacked up!
Will post what I did with these later :)

Stack of oversize books, including two atlases of the imaginary! Plus a large, vintage atlas (bottom of stack), a hardback copy produced in the early 1990s of George Stubb's Horse Anatomy (I so snatched this one up when I found it!) and a book detailing heritage trees of the Great State of Texas.
Used book finds, Fall 2011.
