A warm day walk on Thompson's Beach with my husband brought these scenes to my attention. I hope you enjoy them.
For Arch's challenge #21 a modern AR in Thompson style. Wanted to do this cause of the part use, promise I'll do something more old fashioned for the next one :)

"You are the architect of your own fate. You are the master of your own destiny. You can do and undo things. You can break old habits through the power of your will. You can destroy wrong mental impressions and unholy desires and develop new habits. You can change your nature and develop a pure character" ~ Sri Swami Sivananda
I recently installed a new SSD (from Ireland of course :) ) on my computer as my previous hard drive was about to go "All Blacks" on me ;). This morning I hauled out some old RAW files from June 2015 and threw them into the merge into panorama machine. The end result is the accompanying photo.

MRL 346 leads ballast and rip rap loads westbound through Thompson Falls, MT. The skies opened up with a heavy sleety rain storm just as the train approached, but by the time we got back to the car, the downpour ended just as quickly as it began.

Growing up, this was the railway bridge that kids jumped from into the river in some idiotic teenage rite of passage. I only did it twice but that was two times too many. :-)
At first, I was going to title this "Railway Bridge" but then I thought ... no, I hadn't taken the picture for the bridge. This shot was about everything -- the gorgeous sunny day, the snowy hills (Mt. Paul on the right), all the water fowl in the river, and childhood memories including the bridge.

In the Bay of Islands on the North Island, New Zealand. We enjoyed a day sailing on this tall ship, the R. Tucker Thompson. The ship stopped over in a small cove where Dick and I chose to trek on one of the islands. Dick had a chance to take a turn at the helm during the sail back to Russell. What a delightful - and beautiful - day!
This sandy beach, located in Cobram Victoria, is one of (if not) the largest inland sandy beaches on the Murray River.
I had the chance visit and photograph this ghost town in Thompson Springs, Utah twice now. The first time was 12 years ago on a road trip. It was great to see this beautiful sign still there, if you're in Utah try to make the pilgrimage to this living photography landmark.
1/4 plate daguerreotype.
Here is the only plate from a shoot with Siolo Thompson siolothompson.com/
My plates are recycled and I am starting to see copper and thin areas of silver resulting in uneven sensitization and artifiacts. Today was a tough one and after shooting 6 plates, this plate was the only one that survived. Two plates came out very clean but developed major problems during gilding and they could not be saved. I decided to go ahead and gild this one because the plate will not tolerate another buffing so the day was not a total loss. Here it is with all the flaws. Siolo was delightful through the whole process and has agreed to come back and try again. I lost the battle not the war.
Montana Rail Link's Paradise local crosses the Thompson River as it nears its westernmost customer on MRL's 4th Subdivision, Thompson River Lumber. A beautiful pair of GP9s lead the local. I fear the local may not be long for this world. One of the local's biggest customers, Tricon Timber in St. Regis recently laid off about half of its workforce because of the Canadian exchange rate, as well as an agreement with Canada that recently expired that regulated Canadian softwood exports to the U.S.

The horizon glows beyond the rugged rock shores of Lake Superior.

Boyce Thompson Arboretum is about a 45 minute drive from our house in Superior, Arizona. We go often because it's a beautiful natural oasis about 10 degrees cooler than the Phoenix area. at 2.5 minutes, this video many not hold everyone, but I thought I'd show some of the beauty through the eyes of my iPhone. There is a hummingbird about 1 minute in which didn't turn out too bad considering I pinch-zoomed on the screen of my phone. There is a view of Boyce Thompson's home high on the cliffs of the park (he founded the place). Near the end is a recreation of an Australian Outback sheep farm and wool shed. Background music so you don't have to hear me walking and breathing.

At Thompson Chemists in SoHo, you can listen to bluegrass from Sheriff and the Deputy every other Tuesday night.

The show is just one of the unusual offerings at the shop, opened in 1994 by pharmacist Gary Alony.
