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.
A westbound CN potash train dips in and out of the numerous tunnels and sheds in the Thompson River Canyon just north 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
... 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.

KCS’s OCS is eastbound on the Mexico Subdivision, and is nearing their crew change point of Mexico, MO. The NS St. Louis District parallels here, and can be seen to the left.
The BNSF Denver to Provo manifest winds its way along the Book Cliffs of eastern Utah near Thompson.

A colorful mix of freight cars border the Thompson River as a CP Rail train glides through former Gladwin station, a site east of Lytton, BC. Perched on a cliff above the train is the narrow pathway BC Hwy 1.

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.
Just North of Clearwater BC, the water sure is clear with the elegant deep blues and greens from the icefields in the Rockies. Passing the old station name of North Thompson which doesn't appear anymore on modern timetables, an empty coal drag bound for Alberta crosses a small bridge over the river the station is named after.
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 warm day walk on Thompson's Beach with my husband brought these scenes to my attention. I hope you enjoy them.
This image features Thompson Peak on the Plumas/Lassen County Line in Northern California, USA. This image was captured as moody clouds moved by in the aftermath of a November storm, just after sunrise. I loved the warm tones the early golden hour sun created in the image!

Looking at photos of Utah and wanting to go back....
UP's Potash local rolling east along the ex D&RGW near Thompson, UT on its way back to Grand Junction, CO. An ex B&O GP40 & ex SSW GP60 power the train today.
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 straightforward portrait of one of the most common animals we encountered within the Masai Mara National Park. These antelope aren't headline grabbers or regarded as part of the Big 5, Big 9 etc but they are great to observe.
