My brother is not a reader per se. He reads , but not for fun. When he stays with me he claims he has to read. This is the stack of books that is by his bed.
couldn't resist capturing this stack of clouds on my way to Leh on my Himalayan Biking Expedition, 2008.
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 Kingston Fossil Plant, operated by the Tennessee Valley Authority, is located at the confluence of the Clinch and Emery Rivers, tributaries of the Tennessee River, between the towns of Harriman and Kingston in Roane County, Tennessee.
The plant put 9 power generating units on line in 1955, with 5 tall and 4 short stacks. In 1976, its original stacks were taken out of service (though left standing) and replaced by a pair of 1,000.0 feet(304.8 m) tall chimneys, one for units 1–5 and one for units 6–9. (See www.flickr.com/photos/23056599@N00/180342544
To reduce sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions, all nine units use a blend of low-sulfur coal. Two scrubber shave been added to the units, further reducing emissions by up to 95 percent. This project was completed in fiscal year 2010 at a cost of about $475 million.
Of course, TVA is still dealing with the December 2008, an impoundment at the plant failed, releasing 1.1 billion gallons (4.2 million m³) of coal fly ash slurry that covered up to 300 acres (1.2 km2) of the surrounding land, damaging homes and flowing into nearby waterways.
Chairs Stacked at 1 Air Street, London. These chairs felt like an art installation. I had to take photos of them as if they were.

Coming into Jasper, Alberta, as the Canadian was leaving was a CN stack train. We were still passing it as I went up to a dome car to get a look.
Installed September 2002, as of June 2008, these still run UWA's core network (there is also a pair of 6509s with SupII+s)
I continue experimenting with focus stacking
In this session of shots (33 shots) I connected the flash

South Stack
South Stack (Welsh: Ynys Lawd) is an island situated just off Holy Island on the North West coast of Anglesey. It is famous as the location of one of Wales' most spectacular lighthouses.
Lighthouse
The lighthouse has warned passing ships of the treacherous rocks below since its completion in 1809. The 28 m (91ft) lighthouse was designed by Daniel Alexander and the main light is visible to passing vessels for 28 miles, and was designed to allow safe passage for ships on the treacherous Dublin - Holyhead - Liverpool sea route. It provides the first beacon along the northern coast of Anglesey for east-bound ships. It is followed by lighthouses, fog horns and other markers at North Stack, Holyhead breakwater, The Skerries, the Mice and at the north-east tip of the island Trwyn-Du. The lighthouse is operated remotely by Trinity House. [1]

South Stack, near Holyhead on the Isle of Anglesey. Lovely watching the sun go down. Quite interesting that often after the sun has disappeared below the horizon you see a more dramatic cloudscape yet everyone seems to go home once the sun has set!

Visitors can climb to the top of the lighthouse and tour the engine room and exhibition area. The lighthouse is open seasonally.

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...
Limpets, Crepidula fornicata with alga growing off of oldest shell in stack (and a little black high spired snail living on the alga). Found on the beach, along with many other similar stacks of limpets with the same alga and the same little black snail.

Been dragging my feet on editing some of these because the negatives are streaky and will take a while to fix given that my computer is old and slow.
Here is one such image. Instead of obsessing over removing every single fleck of dust, I just did a "good enough" pass. So there may still be some defects here.
