The Portraiture of Germanicus
View allAll Photos Tagged empress
Originally launched as Empress of the North, this paddle‑wheel vessel spent years carrying passengers through the Pacific Northwest before American Queen Steamboat Company purchased and completely refurbished her in 2013. When she re‑entered service in 2014, she carried a full Victorian personality — ornate furniture, floral carpets, brass accents, frosted glass lampshades, lace curtains, and richly patterned wallpaper — a riverboat dressed like a parlor.
She became the largest paddle‑wheel boat on the Columbia and Snake Rivers, moving through the Northwest with a kind of slow, confident grace that belonged to another era. Since this photo was taken, her career has come to an end, but the moment captured here is the one that matters: a fully restored Empress, polished, elegant, and still carrying the river tradition forward in her own way.

A view at sunset of Victoria's Inner Harbor and this famous Hotel.
Recognized as one of Top 21 Iconic Hotels in the World by National Geographic Traveler magazine, honoured with Travel + Leisure Magazine’s World’s Best Award for Top 10 City Hotels in Canada, and regarded as a Condé Nast Readers’ Choice and Gold List hotel, Fairmont Empress is located in Victoria, BC overlooking the city’s sparkling Inner Harbour.
Opened on 20 January 1908, the Châteauesque-styled building is considered one of Canada's grand railway hotels.
Happy Friday! Enjoy a wonderful weekend.
Continuing on the theme of transportation, my morning walk in the Oregon city of The Dalles had another surprise in store for me: Down by the Columbia River, I found this gorgeous classic paddlewheeler named American Empress. She is a large river cruise ship and passengers definitely travel in style on this one! The views of the landscape, including spectacular Mt. Hood, must be fantastic!
The cruises travel from Portland, Oregon, up the Columbia and Snake River all the way to Clarkston at the Washington/Idaho border. The cost is around $3000. She was built in 2002 on Whidbey Island in Washington and has room for 223 passengers.

Another one of the beautiful waterfalls seem along the Valley of the Waters in the Blue Mountains, west of Sydney.
Highly recommended, the renewed New Kadath sim.

These two rocks just seem to resist any amount of water trying to move them. Luckily they're nicely positioned.

From this morning's foggy walk. Had to squeeze in one more waterfall before Xmas.
2021 was a crazy year but many thanks to everyone here in Flickrland for piling in and making it seem 1/2 normal. Life would be so much less without you.
I photographed this Empress Brilliant (Heliodoxa imperatrix) at Avistamiento de Aves Doña Dora, in Dagua, Valle del Cauca, Colombia, in February 2020. It lives only in Colombia and Ecuador. Adult males have a mostly dark green face and breast with a square pale violet patch in the middle of the throat, while females are bronzy green above. Besides perching at Marcgravia flowers, it hovers under drooping Ericaceae blossoms to feed. The few nests known were cups of tree-fern scales bound with spider silk and lined with seed fluff. IUCN lists it as Least Concern.
I used a Pentax K-1 with the HD Pentax-D FA 150-450mm f/4.5-5.6 for this one, at 1/500 sec, f/5.6, ISO 1600, −1 EV. Visitors can see between 28 and 60 species in a day there, in an area of less than 150 square meters.

the infamous Empress Hotel (and its reflected twin) in Victoria's Inner Harbour last nite as I walked to the Bob Dylan concert..
Bob and his band were fabulous! a nite to remember forever
and no I did not have a camera or a cell phone to record the event!
it is soooooooooo funny, I had a seat in the 6th row on the floor.....so very close to Bob...tho I never sat!!...as did I know that the BIG Bob fans were in this section???, of course!, so I stood and danced the whole concert so I could seeeeeeeee Bob!! and I figured if Bob at age 67 could stand for 2 hours, with no intermission, so could I!! :~)
YES! another item on my bucket list, experienced and a delightful memory!
off to work now, and then to my friend Bryony's art show opening tonight
.....have a fabulous Friday!!
