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.

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.

Providence & Worcester train WONR crosses the causeway over the French River in Thompson, CT with a good sized train for Plainfield.
Whenever I take this drive up into the hills by Chase BC, on the return drive coming down I always stop at this point to take in this wonderful view. There are two homes roughly in this area, many kilometers from anyone else, built to get this wonderful view. Their views of the sunset must be wonderful as this is looking westward.

There is a rose garden at Boyce Thompson Arboretum in Superior, Arizona. This one had a sunbeam hitting it I set the camera to expose for the rose which threw the backdrop into black.

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.
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.
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!
Let's just say that the speed board was accurate, well it appeared to me that is was as this guy was really flying
