Clear Lake - Iowa
Not much action on the beach today! Temps cool in the mid fifties, and strong sustained winds at thirty-five plus mph. We didn't stay very long either, but the whitecaps on this side of the lake were amazing!
Spring is having a tough start in north central Iowa. Come June, this whole area will be filled with parents, pipsqueaks and poodles!

Union Pacific's Sharp, Utah - Valmy, Nevada coal train is making good time, rolling along State Street on the Provo Subdivision between American Fork and Lehi, Utah the afternoon of Nov. 3, 1985. The open fields that bordered the track are all gone now. In fact, a Costco big box store occupies this plot of land today. Time marches on, like it or not!
This majestic Gothic Revival schoolhouse was designed and built by W.W. Eldridge in 1889. It served the community until 1986 when the school was relocated to a modern building. Renovations were carried out and it was converted into Council Chambers until the Town Council was amalgamated with the larger Northern Midlands Council in 1993.
But the building still serves the community as a tourism information hub, and importantly continues to house Evandale's valuable historical archival material.

The original pavilion at Longhorn Cavern State Park in Burnet County, Texas. Completed by the Civilian Conservation Corps mid-1930s.
This foggy early morning scene at Guadalupe State Park in Texas provided an inviting landscape to explore.
Neat state park we came across while traveling from North Dakota towards Devils Tower as we passed through Montana.

Here is a second attempt at the State Capitol building. The sky was on fire this particular morning, see previous panorama of the same morning.
This image is double exposed in photoshop. I created a duplicate layer and exposed the bottom layer for the foreground and exposed the top layer for the sky manually blending the two with layer masks.
Thanks for looking.
There's nothing like a State Fair on a Summer evening to treat the senses -- the sights and sounds of the Midway, the smell and taste of Funnel Cakes, Fried Zucchini, Corn Dogs, Turkey Drumsticks, and cold beer.

Helmeted Honeyeater (Lichenostomus melanops cassidix)
This critically endangered Honeyeater is the State Bird of Victoria Australia.
From the archives.
Here's one I found in the file-pile.
I saw this funny little beast while doing a hike near Mt. Baker a couple summers ago.
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.

(Thanks in advance for the views, favs and comments! I'm slowly trying to catch up with everyone. 😎 )

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.
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.
