Photography and History of Quetico Park and Thunder Bay Area
Old Fort William, now known as Fort William Historical Park, is a reconstructed fur trade located in Thunder Bay, Ontario. It was built on the bank of the Kaministiquia River far upstream from its original site near where the river empties into Lake Superior.

A hodge-podge of images, most of them in HDR, of statues, farm machinery, railroad cars and other interesting objects I have encountered.

Bridges are interesting objects to photograph. Since trestles and tunnels carry out the same function, I have included them in this gallery. Some other images on these topics can be found in the Images of Thunder Bay, Atikokan Images and Minneapolis and St. Paul in HDR photo galleries.

Buildings, bridges and statues can appear cold and sterile but HDR photography seems to bring them to life.

Marie and I now live in Thunder Bay, Ontario. Although we haven’t lived in Atikokan for over twenty years, whenever I go there it still feels like home.
Charles Dobie has a wonderful website

This collection of images of places and objects in Thunder Bay, Ontario is not meant of be a cross-section of Thunder Bay but is an attempt to capture some of its character and spirit. Some of the images – such as the image of the Hoito Restaurant – were made by combining three or more photos into one image . These high dynamic range (HDR) images have a wider range of contrast than a single image. Consequently, HDR images more closely approach what the human eye sees. Some of the images, however, also have an other-worldly look. For other similar photos see Photography section called “Buildings, Monuments and Miscellaneous Items”. Some of my photos of Thunder Bay can be purchased at Fireweed in Thunder Bay. View the Gallery ‘Images of Thunder Bay’
