Now that the Wilfred Sykes has cleared the MacArthur lock and the space is free, it’s finally time for the many tour boats to make their way upbound towards Lake Superior. Leading the group were the Nokomis and Le Voyageur of Famous Soo Locks Boat Tours, while the Canadian tour boat Miss Marie lll takes position number 3, and the Hiawatha and Bide A Wee hold spots 4 and 5. While they ain’t the biggest things locking through today, it’s hard to beat the view these tour boats provide of this engineering marvel.
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.

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.
stacking of a couple photos from the other night at gharafa roundabout in doha. traffic was not too heavy so i stacked in order to emphasize the light trails.
South Stack lighthouse is located on a rocky islet off the east coast of Anglesey, north Wales. It was built in 1809, and is 28 metres tall, standing about 60 metres overall above sea level.
The lighthouse can be visited, but only by descending - and the ascending - the 400 steps down the steep cliff face. The surrounding cliffs are used by thousands of sea birds, particularly guillemots, as nesting sites.
One of my latest quilts. I am in love with shot cottons...so I used a variety of colors, widths and lengths to put this one together.
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.
The Garfield Smelter Stack is the tallest free-standing structure west of the Mississippi River, the fourth tallest smokestack in the world and the forty-third tallest free-standing structure on earth. It is the only operating smelter chimney left in Utah - Wikipedia.
so i'm not really sure why, but i'm getting a weird blur effect on some of these pictures. don't get me wrong, i like it, but i'd also like to understand it... i'm pretty sure it's the film as i just ran a pack of black and white through and every picture was sharp as a knife... is it the type of film (669) or the pack itself??? if anyone has any ideas, let me know.
in this view of the gold and black plume agate, you can see the end from where I took off the polished nub I first uploaded the photograph of on Dec. 22nd. On the damaged, outside edge, I had spotted the faint outline of a plume-like structure, which is why I decided to pick it up and keep it. It certainly was not a very pretty or impressive looking specimen, but I just had a feeling it might be something good.
