When it comes to independent cinema the State Theatre in North Hobart stands alone in Tasmania. Only the art deco Star in Launceston is comparable. www.flickr.com/photos/luminosity7/49077130843/in/album-72...
Like the post office across the street it opened in 1913 as the North Hobart Picture Palace showing silent movies. The Spanish flu of 1918 and competition from theatres closer to the city centre forced it to close in 1920. It reopened in 1935 and has shown films ever since under a number of different guises.
Since 2019 it has been owned by the Reading Cinemas chain. The key to its success today is that it operates 11 screens in small rooms, allowing for a wide range of movies to be shown at once. The State also operates a bookshop with an extensive range of books about the movies.

The State Theatre originally opened as the Lyric Theater in the early 1900s. After suffering several fires it would later be rebuilt at the State Theatre. It is now home to the Traverse City Film Festival (founded by Michael Moore). Sadly it has been closed since the COVID outbreak last year.
Traverse City, Michigan
(Thanks in advance for the views, favs and comments! I'm slowly trying to catch up with everyone. 😎 )
Wheeling and Lake Erie train 218 thunders out of State line tunnel with everyone’s favorite GM Demonstrator SD40-2
Rock Island Train No. 4, the GOLDEN STATE, curves off CRI&P trackage onto the Union Pacific at Topeka, Kansas, on February 27, 1965. The lead unit is crossing a yard track serving a small yard on the station's south side. E7A 640, AB6 751, and E7B 638B lead the day's train. This was an extra-fare SP/RI train operating between Los Angeles and Chicago. As the train passes under NW Topeka Boulevard, a crewman inspects the cars on the sharp curve––photo by Joe McMillan.
Markers in the Canyon tell boaters when they cross the Wyoming-Montana State Line on Bighorn Lake. Though still in Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area on either side, fishing and boat regulations are different for each state. One needs the appropriate fishing license depending on which side of the line they fish
The Montana-Wyoming State Line lies along the 45th parallel north, halfway between the north pole and the equator.
Wheeling & Lake Erie train 218 exits the state line tunnel, crossing from West Virginia into Pennsylvania as it heads east toward Rook Yard on a beautiful summer morning.
Just a few miles from tying down at Bond, a coal empty curves along the Colorado River at State Bridge.
Calm is a state that begins within, but it’s highly influenced by external factors. Be mindful of the power of those influences to better preserve the calm. They can’t always be changed but even acknowledging them improve our state of mind.
A drier Swift River well-showed New Hampshire's state motto, The Granite State, in this photo taken at the Rocky Gorge along the Kancamagus Hwy in the White Mountain National Forest, Fall, 2023.
(Une rivière Swift plus sèche a bien montré la devise de l'État du New Hampshire, The Granite State, sur cette photo prise à Rocky Gorge le long de l'autoroute Kancamagus dans la forêt nationale de White Mountain, à l'automne 2023.)
We found real beauty of Fall in the Ferdinand State Forest. It was mid-morning and very quiet. We found a bench near the lake and enjoyed the serenity and seeing two eagles soar over the lake and land in a tree on the opposite side. I did not realize the beauty of this shot until I got home, definitely the shot of the trip.

Deadhorse Point State Park
Near Moab, UT
In my opinion, this is the best overlook in America. By this time of the morning, the canyon wall were catching enough sun to reflect in the river below.
Every intrusion into their airspace caused a reaction in the Osprey nest. Here you can see the female adult was chirping her warning and all the juveniles were looking to see what was causing the stir.
I've added a number of photos from Leesylvania State Park that do not show in my Photostream. You are cordially invited to see them here: www.flickr.com/gp/gary_w_house/P6c2D2
The Shwe Inn Thein Pagodas (aka Shwe Indein Pagodas) lie on a low ridge some 6 km (3.7 mi.) west-southwest of the Phaung Daw U Pagoda, which is on the western side of Inle Lake near its southern end. We approached the village of Inn Thein (aka Indein) by long-tail boat along the narrow waterway seen here. At Inn Thein we left our boats and made a 0.75 km (0.5 mi.), 100 m (328 ft.) climb along a covered walkway to the pagodas which are 410 km (255 mi.) north of Yangon in Shan State, Myanmar.
One of the many beautiful views at Letchworth State Park, known as "The Grand Canyon of the East," in New York state.

Garrapata State Park – Monterey Peninsula
www.davidshieldphotography.com/
This second image featuring part of Monterey’s highly scenic rugged coastline was captured 98 minutes earlier than my previous post. The light was muted in the previous post, and therefore, it made sense to compose for a tighter view, showcasing the rocky texture and detail of the arch. For this shot, I zoomed out so the emphasis of the image would focus more on the scene’s warm evening light and larger expansive view.
This image was processed using both Capture One software, and Adobe Camera Raw.

Clear Lake - Iowa
It is a cool sunny Labor Day weekend at the lake, but on this Sunday some still enjoyed the beach and a swim. Puffy clouds, a slight breeze from the northeast and temps in the low 70's.
It is a very busy day at and on the lake, with kids, parents and poodles. All enjoying the final days of summer!
