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!
I can't recommend Moore state park in Paxton enough, even it's a bit out of the way. The old mill site is impressive, as is the "waterfall". When the azaleas bloom, this place must be even more special.
Works best when viewed in large.
Neat state park we came across while traveling from North Dakota towards Devils Tower as we passed through Montana.
Medicine Rocks State Park
This foggy early morning scene at Guadalupe State Park in Texas provided an inviting landscape to explore.

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.

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.
