mmmmm, yummy! fabric stack for the quilt you can see partially constructed behind it. Quilt is the 9 Patch Trellis quilt by Oh Fransson!

For many years, the SP intermodal facility across the Mississippi from New Orleans sent and received many trains from California. This was just one of the more modern renditions, a Long Beach-bound stack train rolling on the Sunset Route through Houston. However, with the advent of PSR UP closed or downsized many of their smaller intermodal terminals. Avondale no longer sees trains of containers, though there are occasional cuts of well cars mixed in with manifest traffic.

Stacks on! Here's one of the girls from Nicky's pod wrestling with two other dolphins during courtship. These guys aren't shy about mating, they'll do it anywhere... orgy's are always fun... and you gotta have an audience!

Possibly the best smile in all of Dharavi – from a cardboard stacker at a recycling unit at Nauvrag Compund.
Andromeda Galaxy - M31 with M32 and M110 satellite galaxies. Sony A7S body attached to Starwave 102 refractor, image consists of 44 20 second exposures at ISO 3200. The images were stacked using DSS.
After a wonderful indoor picnic (lots of good food (the Beef BBQ sandwiches were killer!) and great company), We drove to Miami to catch the skyline and fireworks... there we found more Flickr friends and lots of independent fireworks masters... so the atmosphere was smokey from the get-go. I thought I had gotten some pretty good images, most were obscured or partially so by the smoke... I never have much luck (poor fireworks skills) Sigh.... so much to learn!! Should have incorporated more water for reflections, and don't really know how to get the smoke out without messing up the rest of the image... Oh, well, live and learn! Any pointers would be welcome...
Two UP Stack trains meet in Traver, CA. This is a small town of about 700 people along the SR-99 "valley" corridor of the Central Valley of California. Traver is known for its grain exports.
Today these two stack trains waste no time blazing through town, even with an older Southern Pacific (now UP) loco second out on the Westbound (Compass North) train.

There was some discussion on the ICE Rail group today about the possibility of double-stacks on the IC&E via the Kansas City connection with KCS. One report said CP was making track adjustments under the CN (IC) bridge at Genoa to accommodate stacks.
I recalled photographing some UP overhead stack trains on the I&M Rail Link, and dug up this one of stacks coming under said bridge on 4-5-2000...so I'm not sure what work needed done if it was indeed for future stack traffic. Either way, this is interesting news...

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.

I stacked this in Photoshop because I couldn't figure out how to get StarStaX to align them without making star trails. So, I aligned them by hand.
The lines across them are stuck pixels in my camera sensor -- they seemed to "move" when i aligned the stars.
From this I need to (1) learn how to subtract out the stuck pixels and (2) better intensify the light and contrast when stacking the images.
From this impressive snow and ice stack, our friend Rachel has clearly been told not to step more on her left, even if the view on the valley of Chamonix is is completely amazing :-)
At this location, she sees our rope squad (cordée) and we're also on ridge.
The Vallée Blanche is one of my favorite walks within these 4 days alpinism initiation on the mountains. Since that day, I definitely know that I not subject to vertigooooo!
And doesn't neceserly require a jump (you know, the lack of atmosphere :P)
This one is three separate boxes that stack on top of each other to make a trinket box tower of sorts :-) Each box is 85 mm (3.5") diameter by 45 mm (1.8") deep. The top two boxes each have a foot ring that sits inside the previous box preventing them from sliding about. The bottom box has a flat base which is why it appears shorter in the third pic. Overall height when stacked, including the lid is 155 mm (6.1"). The shiny finish is achieved with liquid Kato, a method taught to me by Debbie Crothers.
