our tallest beer glass stack to date down our local - don't really think we are going to get away with this one again! Something like 30 glasses in that stack - and I didnt drink one!! ('cos it was more than that!)
** orange, purple, black **
MEASUREMENTS: stacked pendant of 19mm round bead, 2x15mm disk bead, and a 8x13mm rondelle bead on a fine silver lampwork headpin, and a 20x7mm ring bail with a 10mm inner diameter. Hangs 55mm below chain/cord.
First attempt at stacking an image. Looks like crap. Oh well. You can see the yurt chimney to the right.
Found a box of 45s in my mom's basement a couple months ago. Brought them home and they've been sitting here ever since. Light was hitting 'em just right today.
Some purple microtitre plate carriers and carrierless clear plates, all stacked up on a Beckman/Sagian robotics carousel. This was part of an Orchid Biosciences SNPStream 25k genotyping system, originally. Everything's 384-well format.
The 25k was an enormous behemoth of a robotic system built around a Beckman/Sagian core system, with a 3-metre robotic rail, a MultiMek liquid handler, and a whole raft of multi-drops and plate washers. It did single-plex SNP genotyping, with two-colour ELISA chemistry.
It's since been supplanted by a couple of generations of low-density microarray-based instruments, most recently the Beckman GenomeLab SNPstream. Thank goodness.
I didn't get any good photos, but here is proof that I at least stacked a few rocks. The one on the bottom is maybe a foot tall (2.5 beer cans tall) and once it's balanced, the rest is a heady mix of bravado and ease. I am seeking rocks in my home city for this purpose, and of course I have frozen ice blobs on the balcony awaiting a trip to the lake (the lake ice is not yet suitably thick).

South Stack Lighthouse, Anglesey.
South Stack is set in a spectacular location to the north-west of Holyhead. The lighthouse acts as a waymark for coastal traffic and a landmark and orientation light for vessels crossing the Irish Sea to and from the ports of Holyhead and Dun Laoghaire.
History of the lighthouse
In 1645 when lighthouses were privately owned, King Charles II was petitioned for a patent to build a lighthouse on South Stack. The request was refused. However, 143 years after the original petition, Trinity House leased South Stack island and construction of the lighthouse commenced. On 9 February 1809, the station's oil lamps, designed by Daniel Alexander at a cost of £12,000, were first lit. In 1828 an iron suspension bridge was built to replace the rope catwalk that originally linked the lighthouse to the bottom of the 400 steps down the cliff face.
This was one of the many changes that have taken place at South Stack since 1809. The lights regularly became more efficient and in 1938 electric power replaced the oil that powered the lamps. In 1964 the iron bridge was taken down and a new one of aluminium was put up in its place.
The lighthouse was automated in 1984, and the keepers withdrawn. Today, the lighthouse is monitored and controlled by computer link from Trinity House Operations Centre in Harwich, Essex.
An experiment in landscape focus stacking. First shot focus in on plant in foreground, second shot focus is on the rock face. The two shots combined with CZM to for a single shot.

Went for a tour of a paper mill, and this is one of the stacks of paper. It is made from recycled clothing, they take clothing, make pulp and then make paper. This is pretty cool, just outside the town of Orcha in India.
Vintage ones from ebay of course. Need to source some 127 film for the older Brownies; the oldest Brownies are buggered. I sneaked in my ETRSi, MTL and Lomos. Thanks to JT for the photo and the notes. You trainspotter.
From I-84 Westbound, this is the partially used stack interchange carrying traffic to/from CT-9. Originally, ConnDOT had proposed to build CT-9 north of Farmington and would have been I-291, a proposed bypass of Hartford. For more information, visit www.kurumi.com/roads/ct/xc-stack.html. The picture here is my own, the one on the linked web page was taken by its creator (notice how mine has a shadow from the EzPass thing).
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.

Adapted from words to eat by.
No, I didn't eat the stack...
...er, I did eat 5 of them. Four were pretty much around the same time period and the 5th was a late night snack as my mum was eating miniature financiers. I also ate ice cream.
I ATE 500000 CALORIES TODAY. SHOOT MEEE.
On an unrelated note, my kitchen at home is one of the worst places to take photos of food. Besides that the lighting isn't so good (one of the fixtures doesn't work), we have a glass table. It LOOKS cool, but it doesn't provide a nice surface to take photos on (unless you want a photo of the floor) and we don't use tablecloth. We also need nicer tableware, hehe.
Early morning stack.
I had taken enough images to complete the stack and have the eyes and antennae in focus, as well. I chose to process the stack and have only the legs in focus. I think it made for a stronger final image.
