I live in a beautiful place! This spot by the Kootenai River is about a 15-minute drive from my home. The views in these images were taken while looking east toward the Selkirk mountains. The town of Bonners Ferry is a few miles downstream from this spot.
While it appears to be very calm, the Kootenai River has a powerful current with a dangerous undertow. People frequently drown in it.
DrFumblefinger explores the architecture in “Downtown Casablanca”. Most were constructed in the period between WWI and WWII, and show art deco and art nouveau features combined with Moroccan/Moorish features.
A delicious lunch was capped by a pleasant young Berber girl pouring mint tea for us.
I was visiting a friend, and this was the view from their house. I could understand why they built their house facing this direction. I was taken by the beauty!

A visit to the Desert View Watchtower on the eastern portion of the Grand Canyon’s South Rim. Constructed in the 1930s, it offers magnificent canyon views and a tie to the Native American history of the Canyon.
Thank you for the pictures of Northern Idaho. It reminded me of a visit there in April 6 years ago, and I was impressed by the marshland near Bonners Ferry, which is part of the floodplain of the Kootenai River. Just North of the border crossing and right beside the road, I came across this fine bald eagle, looking rather affronted at being disturbed.
Terrific photos, Roderick! Lots of eagles living around here.
I’ve seen one timber wolf near the river — the only one I’ve ever seen outside my life, with the exception of those we saw in Alaska.
