The Asarco smokestacks, idle for years, were the tallest in Texas. They had been for decades an El Paso landmark. The one at left was 612 feet (184 m) tall and the one at right, further away, was 828 feet (248 m) tall.
Both stacks were demolished with explosives on April 13, 2013. View from the entrance to the Asarco site.

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!)

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.
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).

Digging through by Ste. Claire archives and posting a few shots from a couple of years ago.
This is standing atop the Ste. Claire and her stacks and the Columbia in the background.
I wish I had some updates on the progress of her restoration, but sadly, things have come to a standstill for months now.
A Progeny Mk6 Block I stands fully stacked to test parts that need to carry load. The third stage is undergoing testing right now and then the supports on the second stage will be removed. Off in the background Ascension parts await assembly
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.
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.
