2010 - Day 364. Dec. 30, 2010.
After a very wintry December, it appears we're getting our January thaw early! Temperatures hovered around freezing today and are supposed to go up several degrees over the next few days. Deep snow drifts on roofs are turning into walls of ice as they slowly melt during the day and then freeze at night. It's a good idea to watch where you walk!
Wall Drug Store, often called simply Wall Drug, is a roadside attraction and tourist stop located in the town of Wall, South Dakota, adjacent to Badlands National Park. Wall Drug consists of a collection of cowboy-themed stores, including a drug store, gift shop, several restaurants, and various other stores, as well as an art gallery and an 80-foot (24 m) brontosaurus sculpture. Unlike a traditional shopping mall, all the stores at Wall Drug operate under a single entity rather than being run individually.
The small town drugstore made its first step towards fame when it was purchased by Ted Hustead in 1931. Hustead was a Nebraska native and pharmacist who was looking for a small town with a Catholic church in which to establish his business. He bought Wall Drug, located in a 231-person town in what he referred to as "the middle of nowhere," and strove to make a living. Business was very slow until his wife, Dorothy, thought of advertising free ice water to parched travelers heading to the newly opened Mount Rushmore monument 60 miles (97 km) to the west. From that time on business was brisk.
Wall Drug earned much of its fame from its self-promotion. Billboards advertising the establishment can be seen for hundreds of miles throughout South Dakota and the neighboring states. In addition, many visitors of Wall Drug have erected signs throughout the world announcing the miles to Wall Drug from famous locations. By 1981 Wall Drug was claiming it was giving away 20,000 cups of water per day during the peak tourist season, lasting from Memorial Day until Labor Day, and during the hottest days of the summer.

The Military Road is on top of the curtain wall, the ditch just this side of it, whilst the Vallum runs to the south of the road. Milecastle 32 shows as an earthwork. Looking S
Broad gauge curtain wall east of Turret 7b (Denton Hall). This stretch of the curtain wall and its turret are visible on the satellite imagery used by Google Maps. Looking NW.

There were several sections at the wall where the buffer paint was peeling away to reveal what once was a vibrant graffiti scene here at the Civic Yard in downtown Atlanta. This is one area. Check my photostream to see more.
I love when models are willing to brave the cold. This was taken outside in front of a copper panelled wall. It was freezing outside, but Amalea was bringing it! Got some great shots. All natural light, we where shooting in the shade but there where reflective windows on either side of her giving some great fill.
To get this view of the Main River from the tower of Mildenburg Castle, you climb the narrow stairs on the wall. If you look closely you can see the handrail. Somewhat intimidating but well worth the picture.
The East dam wall. Concrete and earth embankment. It's quite high. I have personal experience of this since I was fishing near the spillways with a friend and he managed to stall the outboard motor. I could see the ground on the other side before he got the engine going!
