A teneral female, the eyes will turn blue when it matures. The Nith is still running fast and high with most of the rapids rocks submerged. Segments 8,9 and 10 black, small spots to section 7.
The historic Hiram Rapids Community Church on a bleak October afternoon. The building dates to 1901. It sits adjacent to Riverside Cemetery. There's a sense of sadness to both the church and the cemetery. It hits me every time I visit this place. I wanted a photograph that conveys that feeling.
This was at the 2010 JDRF Gala in Cedar Rapids over the weekend. The HDR has some ghosting in it but I love the colors which reflect the festive mood that was there.
Evening in Grand Rapids as viewed from the window of the Amway Grand. Here for two nights for the MACUL Conference.

Pillow Rapids Overlook at Carnifex Ferry Battlefield State Park provides a view of the Gauley River in Nicholas County, WV
Built in 1896 by the Cedar Rapids, Iowa Falls and Northwestern Railway and now home of the Lyon County Historical Museum. The long-abandoned (since 1972) railroad line is now in use as a recreational trail in the nearby city park.
Clear Creek runs into the Obed River north of the Nemo Rapids, and the Emory River runs into the combined waters just above the Nemo Bridge. The water flowing under the bridge is considered the Emory River from there.
At the Nemo Access, you will find a modern new bridge (the William Harry Kries Memorial Bridge) on which to cross the Emory River. However, the old steel girder bridge still stands, brightly rusting, as a pedestrian bridge for hikers. You have a feeling of walking back in time as you casually stroll across the river to the far side. It may be then, for the first time, out on this bridge, that you hear a distant rushing of water. It’s the powerful Class III rapids just 2 to 300 yards south of the bridge!
Down off the bridge, you can walk beneath both bridges to a sandy beach, where it’s obvious that generations have swum there in the summer, and perhaps partied there after dark. There are some broken beer bottles around, so that provides evidence that it still occurs today.
Following the sound of the water around the sandy shore, you will eventually come to the “Nemo Rapids”. The Emory takes a dramatic left turn just below the bridge and heads straight into a rock wall. This steep rocky bluff forces the Emory to then turn back south and head on toward Oakdale, Tennessee, which is 10 miles further down stream. It then flows more slowly past Harriman and finally into the combined waters of the Clinch and Tennessee Rivers.
Also at LeHardy's Rapids - besides eight harlequin ducks - were spawning Yellowstone cutthroat trout, and a team from Yellowstone's fisheries operations sampling trout just beneath the steepest part of the rapids. The team carefully noted species (some spawners could be cut-bows, i.e., hybrid cutthroats/rainbows), sex, as determined, apparently, by an experienced pinch just below the pelvic fin, and size using a special cradle.
These operations attracted a fascinated (and largely, alas, unmasked and non-distancing) audience. While I was masked and did my best to distance, I too enjoyed the show. I'm not a fisher-person, so I didn't have much of a sense about what cutthroats are like until I could see them out of water. I was impressed by their size and varied bright colors.
After processing the study subjects were gently dumped back in the roiling river to resume jumping up the falls followed by a long swim back to Yellowstone Lake to participate in the continuation of their species. Which is fragile due to predation by introduced lake trout, habitat loss/degradation, over-fishing, etc. The park service manages cutthroats under a Native Fish Conservation Program that is meeting with measurable success due to aggressive removal of non-native lake trout from Yellowstone Lake.

The Sioux Theatre opened in September 1946. The theater's original owners were Don and Edna Gram. The theater was still in operation by 1974, when its then-owner and manager, Michael Berger, had two Strong Lume-X projectors installed at the Sioux in March of that year.
The original owners name was Gran. It was later operated by one of their relatives, Albert and Doris. When originally built it had a 4 bedroom appartment above the lobby. It featured a sound proofed CRYROOM where parents could take babies and not have to annoy other patrons. It also housed an ice cream parlor next to the lobby (this was later removed and replaced by a dentist office). I purchased it from them in Novemeber of 1973, at that time it had been closed nearly 3 years. I reopen it on November 29. 1973 with United Artist "Tom Sawyer". The Lumex's were installed on March 11, 1974 (my 23rd birthday, yah a $12,000 birthday present along with custom built automation). The theater ran a 3 day 2 changes Thur-Sat & Sun-Tues policy. I closed the theater in March of 1976 as a result of the reconstruction of US 71 which issolated the town from the rest of the world. In 1985 I deed the property to the Sioux Rapids Historical Association and they now use it for housing their museum, along with using the seating and stage for school plays and other local live theater.

No, this caboose isn't sitting on a flatcar, it's sitting on its own trucks behind the flatcar. The cab is sitting at the CRANDIC Cedar Rapids shops.
This is where most young people hang out in Katima Mulilo, especially in Summer when the African Sun is blazing Hot.
