I was awaiting a stack heading west that had a UP Heritage unit (WP 1983) as the second unit, but lo and behold, this one was not the one. It turned out it was behind this one, but eventually the prized stacker was allowed to overtake and pass this one, as it came through Colton a short time later ahead of the pictured one.
This is for my Dad, who all my life has helped to keep me grounded and balanced (and sometimes that takes a lot!). :-) I always feel your firm and steady presence in my life and I'm grateful to have that. Thank you for your love and support Dad - you are an amazing father and I love you!
p.s. Are you done with 'Iron Lake' yet?... what a fun night that was! :-)
Happy Father's Day to my Dad and all the great Flickr fathers out there!!!

Region
West
South Stack Rock lies separated from Holyhead Island by 30 metres of turbulent sea, surging to and fro in continuous motion. The coastline from the breakwater and around the south western shore is made of large granite cliffs rising sheer from the sea to 60 metres.
Origins
South Stack Lighthouse was first envisaged in 1665 when a petition for a patent to erect the lighthouse was presented to Charles II. The patent was not granted and it was not until 9 February 1809 that the first light appeared to mark the rock. The lighthouse was designed by Trinity House surveyor Daniel Alexander and originally fitted with Argand oil lamps and reflectors. Around 1840 a railway was installed by means of which a lantern with a subsidiary light could be lowered down the cliff to sea level when fog obscured the main light.
On 25 October 1859 it is said that the most severe storm of the century occurred, known as the 'Royal Charter' gale; and on that and the following day over 200 vessels were either driven ashore or totally wrecked with the loss of 800 lives.The steamship Royal Charter was among these, sinking within yards of help with the loss of almost 500 passengers and crew.
In the mid 1870s the lantern and lighting apparatus was replaced by a new lantern. In 1909 an early form of incandescent light was installed and in 1927 this was replaced by a more modern form of incandescent mantle burner. The station was electrified in 1938.
Automation
On 12 September 1984 the lighthouse was automated and the keepers withdrawn. The lighthouse is now monitored and controlled from Trinity House’s Planning Centre in Harwich, Essex.
When VHS first came out, Disney made limited releases of all the Classics. Most were available for only one year and people eagerly awaited the next release. Fast forward 15 years. VHS was obsolete, those eagerly sought tapes were in thrift stores at a dollar apiece. That's when my grandchildren were little!!!! A trip to the thrift store and....Disney Magic for two little ones at Grandpa's house!!!!!
About one minute after the previous picture, another stack proceeds west on the northernmost track through Montclair, CA
With a fairly new GE up front, a Long Beach-bound intermodal exits the siding at Harwood on the Sunset Route east of San Antonio.
On a sadder note, there is some automobile debris in the grass here from a fatal collision between Amtrak and a car that ran the gates here a few days before.

Who knew I would have so much fun watching all of the machines working on the sidewalk, soon to be street too. We will be surrounded by a construction zone outside for awhile.
Machines and construction zones are not my normal subjects for photos so a fun and interesting challenge for me!

I have a thing for the stack of rotating M&M's at time square. They just make me happy. Don't judge me!
I can't tell you how much I love these hay stacks. The pattern is beautiful. Blue aky and yellow hay is always going to be beautiful.
Wheat Stacks.
No better place to relax,
than just a wheat field,
with stacks of wheat.
The smells,
the hard work,
still turning in the air.
A place all people should come to know,
and love,
it may not be the romance of some exotic beach,
tucked away on a far away private island,
its some where close by,
go and learn the beauty,
of a near by wheat field with,
(Wheat Stacks).

This is another stack of images. This time I chose to shoot it at ISO 3200 and stacked 27 images together. There is no post noise removal. I am very impressed. This trumped the long exposure at ISO 400 where I was getting overexposure in the building and not enough in the roof. Using High ISO and lots of stacks resulted in this very clean image.
I combined all of these using photoshop and median filters to stack the images. I'm way happier with this image over my harbour image.
I stacked all my shots from the meteor shower to create this star trails shot - so after hours of shots, I only have a few airplanes trails...
This time I tried a different aperture, following advice from my boss at work. I have also stacked 7 shots of about 30 minutes each.
Trying to eliminate the 'shake' I got on all but the first shot last time, I paused for around 15 seconds between shots this time. No shake, but there is a gap.
Anyway, I'll take photos of other stuff while the full moon takes the stage.
Run out of ideas on the beach waiting for it to go dark, then I noticed an abundance of pebbles lying around! I couldn't resist getting all arty farty and stacking them. I took this shot in Criccieth on the Llŷn Peninsula.
It's not a HDR image, I was on my stomach waving my torch around to light the scene up! Not usually my style of photography, but I'm trying to mix things up a bit now. Please be honest with your feedback! I need to hear what I could have done better etc.
