When it comes to independent cinema the State Theatre in North Hobart stands alone in Tasmania. Only the art deco Star in Launceston is comparable. www.flickr.com/photos/luminosity7/49077130843/in/album-72...
Like the post office across the street it opened in 1913 as the North Hobart Picture Palace showing silent movies. The Spanish flu of 1918 and competition from theatres closer to the city centre forced it to close in 1920. It reopened in 1935 and has shown films ever since under a number of different guises.
Since 2019 it has been owned by the Reading Cinemas chain. The key to its success today is that it operates 11 screens in small rooms, allowing for a wide range of movies to be shown at once. The State also operates a bookshop with an extensive range of books about the movies.
Rock Island Train No. 4, the GOLDEN STATE, curves off CRI&P trackage onto the Union Pacific at Topeka, Kansas, on February 27, 1965. The lead unit is crossing a yard track serving a small yard on the station's south side. E7A 640, AB6 751, and E7B 638B lead the day's train. This was an extra-fare SP/RI train operating between Los Angeles and Chicago. As the train passes under NW Topeka Boulevard, a crewman inspects the cars on the sharp curve––photo by Joe McMillan.

The State Theatre originally opened as the Lyric Theater in the early 1900s. After suffering several fires it would later be rebuilt at the State Theatre. It is now home to the Traverse City Film Festival (founded by Michael Moore). Sadly it has been closed since the COVID outbreak last year.

(Thanks in advance for the views, favs and comments! I'm slowly trying to catch up with everyone. 😎 )
Wheeling & Lake Erie train 218 exits the state line tunnel, crossing from West Virginia into Pennsylvania as it heads east toward Rook Yard on a beautiful summer morning.
The bear just kept loafing my way, until getting about 50 yards from me -- when I started making some noise to scare it away.
Moments before taking this shot I yelled something like, "Hey, you there! Why not go another way, please?" Or maybe I just blubbered, I can't remember...
Markers in the Canyon tell boaters when they cross the Wyoming-Montana State Line on Bighorn Lake. Though still in Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area on either side, fishing and boat regulations are different for each state. One needs the appropriate fishing license depending on which side of the line they fish
The Montana-Wyoming State Line lies along the 45th parallel north, halfway between the north pole and the equator.
One of the fun parts of visiting Custer State Park was petting the wild Donkeys that roam the park freely. There are signs everywhere stating not to feed the Donkeys but people were doing it anyways.
We let the others feed them and then when the Donkeys came over to us looking for food we just petted them and they moved on.
I keep seeing stories about Gunlock State Park and the beautiful falls. I love them so much! When you go, don’t forget to visit the reservoir itself. There’s a newly improved campground and great places to go kayaking, paddle boarding or fishing. It’s a great way to spend the day or the weekend. And whatever you do this Memorial Day weekend, have a great one! Please be safe out there!
Just a few miles from tying down at Bond, a coal empty curves along the Colorado River at State Bridge.
Calm is a state that begins within, but it’s highly influenced by external factors. Be mindful of the power of those influences to better preserve the calm. They can’t always be changed but even acknowledging them improve our state of mind.
We found real beauty of Fall in the Ferdinand State Forest. It was mid-morning and very quiet. We found a bench near the lake and enjoyed the serenity and seeing two eagles soar over the lake and land in a tree on the opposite side. I did not realize the beauty of this shot until I got home, definitely the shot of the trip.
Lake State Railway train Z127N with SD50 6354 leading the way enters the siding at Newark, Michigan not long after sunrise to meet a southbound grain train back on May 31, 2020.
Tonight what I had planned in my head for my shot did not go to plan due to thick fog in the location I wanted to be. I wasn't sure if i was going to get a shot today!
So I took a drive out to a spot I've been to before and stood on a bridge (in freezing temperatures.. as you do) to capture some light trails. I know it's a mediocre shot, but I do like the lorry pulling into the lay-by.
It's also raining stars again 😉
The Shwe Inn Thein Pagodas (aka Shwe Indein Pagodas) lie on a low ridge some 6 km (3.7 mi.) west-southwest of the Phaung Daw U Pagoda, which is on the western side of Inle Lake near its southern end. We approached the village of Inn Thein (aka Indein) by long-tail boat along the narrow waterway seen here. At Inn Thein we left our boats and made a 0.75 km (0.5 mi.), 100 m (328 ft.) climb along a covered walkway to the pagodas which are 410 km (255 mi.) north of Yangon in Shan State, Myanmar.

In my opinion, this is the best overlook in America. By this time of the morning, the canyon wall were catching enough sun to reflect in the river below.
長期存在於一種環境一個空間，適應 熟悉乃至熟視無睹，覺得理應如斯。
但也會有一些時候，悚然而驚。
似乎總有一股無形的外力，以寄生的方式掌控著自己。
自身的意識慢慢的被侵蝕。
偶爾，短暫的，開始懷疑自己，對自己產生不信任；漸而，開始懷疑自己的認知。
作品《持續性的植物狀態》，意圖表達這種狀態。
A long-term presence in an environment/space makes us adjust to, familiar with and even turn a blind eye to ourselves. Unfortunately, we feel it should be like this.
However, there will be some time, we get shocked suddenly. It seems that there is an invisible force which controls ourselves in a parasitic way. Gradually, the self-awareness is eroded.
Occasionally, we begin to doubt ourselves, having no confidence in ourselves. Thus, we begin to doubt our cognitive.
The work is intended to express such a state.
Every intrusion into their airspace caused a reaction in the Osprey nest. Here you can see the female adult was chirping her warning and all the juveniles were looking to see what was causing the stir.
I've added a number of photos from Leesylvania State Park that do not show in my Photostream. You are cordially invited to see them here: www.flickr.com/gp/gary_w_house/P6c2D2
The SC State House, under construction at the time of the US Civil War, but not completed until well after Sherman’s march through Columbia, SC in February 1865.
This is a shot from a meetup/night tour I recently had at Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia.
It was only 34 degrees this morning with a breeze making it feel much colder. At one point I was having a hard time feeling my hands to capture these moments. Nonetheless it was a magical time as I had these expansive mountain views all to myself as the sun began to rise.
Loyalsock Canyon Vista is the most famous view in Worlds End State Park. This sweeping overlook will give you a view of the Loyalsock Creek carving its way through the valley and the park’s day use area far below. The rolling Endless Mountains stretch as far as the eye can see. endlessmountains.org/directory/loyalsock-canyon-vista/
Following its extensive clearcutting by loggers in the early 20th century, Worlds End State Park has successfully regenerated into a dense "second growth" forest. The area was restored with help from the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) in the 1930s and has since become a protected natural area offering rugged beauty and extensive recreation.
This area is surrounded by the 114,552-acre Loyalsock State Forest.
(This was actually captured at 7:18 am...reminding me I need to adjust my camera time.)

Designed in 1881 by architect Elijah E. Myers, it was constructed from 1882 to 1888 under the direction of civil engineer Reuben Lindsay Walker. A $75 million underground extension was completed in 1993. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1970 and recognized as a National Historic Landmark in 1986.
The Texas State Capitol is 302.64 feet (92.24 m) tall, making it the sixth-tallest state capitol and one of several taller than the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C. (Wikipedia)
The State House is in the Greek Revival style. It is approximately 180 feet (55 m) tall. Architect John R. Niernsee. Built in 1855.
Clear Lake - Iowa
It is a cool sunny Labor Day weekend at the lake, but on this Sunday some still enjoyed the beach and a swim. Puffy clouds, a slight breeze from the northeast and temps in the low 70's.
It is a very busy day at and on the lake, with kids, parents and poodles. All enjoying the final days of summer!
