Another Labour Day weekend canoeing and camping trip to Algonquin Park found in the Canadian province of Ontario. The 2018 edition of our yearly trip into Canadian's wilderness involved exploring Tom Thompson Lake. To me the best time for photography in this wilderness jewel is right at sunrise.
An eastbound Canadian Pacific empty coal train passes below Skihist Provincial Park on September 25, 2015. On the other side of the Thompson River, a Canadian National work train continues loading fallen rock into Difco dump cars in CN’s never-ending battle with nature through this rugged and unforgiving piece of mainline between Morris and Lasha, east of Lytton, British Columbia.

Our stop in Kamloops was only overnight but there was time to explore a little bit and one of the places we went was Riverside Park, where the North and South Forks of the Thompson River meet

If you follow the log barricade to the left you will see a small Llama. I only noticed it during processing.
... the Thompson River Crossing upstream... I was pleased to see the boulders strewn across the river upstream, because if the next time I arrive here and the water is high, I'll simply bushwhack up the river about 20 yards and cross there.

Thompson Peak is the highest Peak in the Trinity Alps Wilderness, a vast assemblage of craggy granite mountains in northwestern California (Trinity Alps Wilderness is the second largest designated wilderness area in California). We are blessed to look out upon this majestic mountain from the ranch house.

Thompson Peak, AKA “My Mountain” (but I’m willing to share), can put on quite the dramatic show during stormy conditions. This was captured at about 8AM in January 2021 as the morning sun was making what was ultimately a futile effort to burn through the low cloud deck. Like many high ridges that jut well above the surrounding terrain, this one forms its own clouds at the top and can look like it’s steaming when the wind blows across it.
I’m truly blessed to live near this great peak’s base so I get to watch its wonderful shows with some frequency.
A westbound UP oil train rolls up on the east end of Thompson, the highest point on the Rio Grande between Grand Junction and Green River, after climbing a steady 1% grade all the way out of Cisco; a relay-mounted searchlight still protects the siding. In the distance are the towers and mesas near Castle Valley, the furthest landmark on the right being Castleton Tower. Just behind them are the La Sal Mountains which lie directly west of the Colorado/Utah line.
One of the more famous spots to shoot in the Thompson River Canyon, it certainly doesn't feature the same power from back in the day, but it still features tons of trains. Going east on the CP side of the river, CP 200-15 has a pair of beaver rebuilds leading on a hot morning.
A warm day walk on Thompson's Beach with my husband brought these scenes to my attention. I hope you enjoy them.
