Grand Portage State Park is located at the northeastern tip of Minnesota on the Canada–United States border. Its 120-foot High Falls is the tallest waterfall in the state and has been an icon of the area of centuries. The falls and rapids that proceed it were obstacles that led the voyageurs and fur traders of the 1700s to craft the area's name Git-che-O-ni-ga-ming (Ojibwe) or Grand Portage (French). In order to connect heavily-used trade routes, these men had to traverse nine miles around the falls from the Pigeon River to Lake Superior.

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!
Neat state park we came across while traveling from North Dakota towards Devils Tower as we passed through Montana.
Medicine Rocks State Park
We spent a couple of relaxing days last weekend at Pere Marquette State Park and Grafton Illinois enjoying the fall colors and the Mississippi and Illinois River vistas.

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.
I keep seeing stories about Gunlock State Park and the beautiful falls. I love them so much! When you go, don’t forget to visit the reservoir itself. There’s a newly improved campground and great places to go kayaking, paddle boarding or fishing. It’s a great way to spend the day or the weekend. And whatever you do this Memorial Day weekend, have a great one! Please be safe out there!
Here is the color situation in Milton, NH as of Wednesday. Many of the area swamp Maples have turned color and died off already, but most of the rest is still pretty green. A solid string of painted 300's looked good behind the three 38-2's nonetheless.

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.
The main, mile-long trail at Asilomar State Beach has side paths that lead to tide pools.
Asilomar State Beach is part of the Asilomar Marine Reserve and is located in Pacific Grove, California.
Tonight what I had planned in my head for my shot did not go to plan due to thick fog in the location I wanted to be. I wasn't sure if i was going to get a shot today!
So I took a drive out to a spot I've been to before and stood on a bridge (in freezing temperatures.. as you do) to capture some light trails. I know it's a mediocre shot, but I do like the lorry pulling into the lay-by.
It's also raining stars again 😉
