Well it isn't quite 30 Thursday but what the heck, I'm still awake after a 17 hour day so here goes. SOO 710 and 2401 start out of the Rapids toward Port Edward with 54 cars on August 26, 1978. 710 was pretty tough looking with the peeling nose paint but ended up getting a repaint a couple years later.
At the Five Finger Rapids four islands divide the Yukon River into five narrow channels. The rapids were a common obstacle for gold seekers during the Klondike Gold Rush. It is the only stretch of whitewater on the 715 km (444 miles) canoe trip between Whitehorse and Dawson City, the route of the annual Yukon River Quest canoe race. The channel at the bottom right is the recommended way through the rapids. It was used by sternwheelers during the gold rush. Drone panorama from 5 vertical photos.

It was already a beautiful evening to witness the famous high tide rapids at Skookumchuck Narrows, but the fact a team of very experienced kayakers took it in turns to get in there, literally battling and riding the waves (in teeny-tiny kayaks) added to the whole wondrous spectacle. Needless to say they looked exhilarated (and knackered) when they'd finished their 5-10-minute stint. I hope to have some good shots from my Nikon - my husband got some incredible close-ups with his new 400mm zoom lens. We were lucky enough to catch lovely golden light too. This was at Roland's Point. (Snapped on iPhone SE)
I was trying to get a photo of the cool blue rapids when this bird walked into the frame. I was forced to include it in the photo.
BNSF L-TWI6201-15 "The Rapids Turn" rolls West across 10th Street N in Cloquet, Minnesota with a pair of BN painted SD40-2s pulling a sizable setout of box cars loaded with paper products for Sappi Fine Paper North America. The Conductor Trainee plugs his ears as the K3 blares and they walk toward the mainline switch
River rapids on the Carrickmines River at Brennanstown, Dublin, Ireland. The River is a tributary the Loughlinstown River
Two days of rain meant a large volume of water flowing over these rapids.
I put my camera on Manual settings and on my Manfrotto 190 tripod.
The banks of the river are sloping and largely overgrown with very few access locations. I was right on the bank for this one on a bend in the river so I was facing straight up the river. Standing a little bit further to the right would have been great but was not possible.
Just below Sgwd Gwladys, Pontneddfechan Falls, in the Brecon Beacons National Park. This is about 100m short of the viewing platform for Sgwd Gwaldys and is beautiful at this time of year.

Photo taken from the Smith Rapids Bridge which spans the South Fork of the Flambeau River, just off off Hwy 70 west of Fifield. This spot is excellent this time of year, but during black fly season it is killer.
Here is a bit of info from the Price County Wisconsin Website located at co.price.wi.us/397/Smith-Rapids-Covered-Bridge:
Location
The Smith Rapids Covered Bridge is located N14900 Smith Rapids Road, which is 14 miles east of Fifield on State Highway 70 and then north 2 miles on Forest Road 148.
The bridge is located on Wisconsin's Rustic Road 105 in the heart of the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest and spans the South Fork of the Flambeau River, a popular destination for canoe and kayak enthusiasts when the water levels are high enough, which is typically in the spring and early summer.
Covered Bridge
History
The Smith Rapids Covered Bridge is the only glue-laminated Town Lattice covered bridge in Wisconsin. Constructed in 1991, the bridge uses an attractive diamond-shaped truss pattern, called the Town Lattice. The pattern was patented in the 1820s by its designer, Ithiel Town.
Area Activities
Adjacent to the bridge is the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest’s 16-mile Smith Rapids Saddle Trail, the Smith Rapids Campground, the Smith Rapids Picnic Area which includes a picnic table, grill, drinking water, day-use area, river & stream fishing, carry-in boat access, and vault toilets; there is no garbage service. Snowmobilers can access the bridge off of Price County Snowmobile Trail #101 which makes an excellent scenic backdrop to snap memorable photographs of your ride. ATV, UTV and Off-road Motorcycle riders can visit the bridge by taking Trail #101 to the parking area and gate; from this parking area the bridge is a 5 minute hike through the picnic area.
BNSF 2804 West storms through Floodwood with the Rapids Local on Oct. 6, 2006. I spent many afternoons in Fall of 2006 chasing the Rapids as I really liked the pool of Geeps they were using. The two ex-BN GP50s trailed another Geep, making for a nice trio for the most of the fall.

Unfortunately it was quite windy the day we tried to shoot the rapids. But I still like this image because of everything it represents in the habitat around the rapids. Can you not "smell" the fresh scents!
