The Dordogne River as seen from a kayak. It's a wonderfully slow, lazy trip down a peaceful and very photogenic river.
Today we took a field trip to French River Provincial Park. Acutally, French River is Killarney's sister park so I had taken some of our summer office employees down to French River to see things there. This way they knew where some of our work was coming from.
Here you can see the rugged walls of the French River Gorge from the snowmobile bridge that crosses the river.

The Trinity River is the longest tributary of the Klamath River, approximately 165 miles (266 km) long, in northwestern California in the United States. It drains an area of the Coast Ranges, including the southern Klamath Mountains, northwest of the Sacramento Valley. Designated a National Wild and Scenic River, along most of its course the Trinity flows swiftly through tight canyons and mountain meadows.
It rises in northeastern Trinity County, in the Shasta-Trinity National Forest along the east side of the Scott Mountains, a subrange of the Klamath Mountains. It flows south-southwest along the west side of the Trinity Mountains into Trinity Lake (20 miles (32 km) long) formed on the river by the Trinity Dam, then immediately into the smaller Lewiston Lake, formed by the Lewiston Dam at Lewiston. From the reservoir it flows generally west-northwest past Weaverville and along the southern side of the Trinity Alps. It receives the New River from the north at Burnt Ranch and the South Fork Trinity River from the south along the Humboldt-Trinity county line. From the confluence with the South Fork it flows generally north-northwest through the Hoopa Valley Indian Reservation and joins the Klamath from the south in northern Humboldt County at Weitchpec, approximately 20 miles (32 km) from the Pacific coast. Both Trinity Lake and Lake Lewiston are within Whiskeytown-Shasta-Trinity National Recreation Area.
The river has been the scene of placer gold mining, including large-scale hydraulic mining, since the days of the California Gold Rush. The river's swift current make it a popular destination for whitewater rafting and kayaking. The creation of the Central Valley Project in the 1960s and the construction of Trinity Dam and Lewiston Dam diverted most of the Trinity's water to the Sacramento Valley, but a minimum annual flow has since been established.

Billy Smith (Patagonia Product Development) shot this McCloud River scene. This river drains through a scenic mountainous area of the Cascade Range north of Redding, CA.
I love the Pearl River! Yes I know it's not a particularly "good" TLR. Maybe it's the name. But anyhow, I've been wanting one forever. I even bought one once, but it arrived broken and I reluctantly returned it. But now, finally, Pearl River is mine! I got this one in a swap with the frequent identity-changer J. Craigen -- thanks! :D
This Pearl River is "topless" because it led a sordid life as participant in a TtV contraption. It may reprise that role, but I plan to feed it some film soon too!
Scenery of the Li River
Along the 100-kilometer stretch of the Li River, mountain peaks rise into the sky. It is one of China's most famous scenic areas, featured in many scroll paintings. Features include:
1.Reed-Flute Rock: a limestone cave with a large number of stalactites, stalagmites, stalacto-stalagmites, rocky curtains, and cave corals.
2.Seven-Star Park: the largest park in Guilin.
3.Mountain of Splendid Hues: a mountain consisting of many layers of variously colored rocks.
4.Elephant-Trunk Hill: a hill that looks like a giant elephant drinking water with its trunk. It is symbol of the city of Guilin.
5.Lingqu Canal: dug in 214 BC, is one of the three big water conservation projects of ancient China and the oldest existing canal in the world.
6.Other attractions include: Duxiu Peak, Nanxi Park, the Taohua River, the Giant Banyan, and the Huashan-Lijiang National Folklore Park.
The imagery of the Li River is featured on the fifth series of the 20 yuan note.
Another shot from last night. I really was hoping to get a shot of the Bay Bridge, but that just didn't work out last night. I plan on going back this week, maybe even tomorrow, depending on the weather. Originally they said that Sunday was going to be clear, but it turned out to be rainy and nasty. By the time I got out to Annapolis last night the rain had stopped, but it was still foggy and muggy.
I may reshoot this bridge next time I'm down there. There is a small park just on the other side of this bridge (off to the right of the shot where you can see the tree), but it "closes" at sunset. I didn't want to push my luck in an area I'm not 100% familiar with. Around my area I have no problem shooting from dark and spooky areas, but in an area I'm not familiar with you just never know. When I visited a friend in Charleston, SC during my college years a friend and I crossed a city park that is apparently notorious for drugs, muggins, etc. We had no idea so we just cut right across it. Nobody bothered us, but when we got back we were informed of how dangerous what we had done really was. I was trying to avoid both that and an encounter with the police last night so I played it a bit safe. I'll have to go back and scope it out during the day and get a feel for it before I go sneaking around it at night.
It really is a shame that access to areas where there is the potential for some really great shots is so limited.
This is a stretch of the River Crouch upstream of Memorial Park in Wickford. It is way above it's usual level. The tide is on it's way out, It had covered the bank where I'm standing at high tide.

Another shot from my hiking trip along the Rogue River in Oregon. We spent four days hiking the wonderful Rogue River trail. This was a little side trip we made to visit author Zane Grey's cabin. He used this cabin to write and spent a lot of time fishing here. Even though the cabin is not the most prettiest of architecture and looks like it might topple over, it did appear to be pretty sturdy.

During the course of 2011 I have been using various B&W films all developed in Ultrafin. This is FP4. Taken on a Leica IIIf with an f2.0 50mm Summicron.
This is the River Wye looking upstream.
