Thunder Bay, in northwestern Ontario, has historically been a major transit hub for grain and wood products, where goods from the west are transferred onto ships for their voyage through the Great Lakes and beyond. It is not a prosperous city and keeps bleeding population, and because of the amalgamation of the former cities of Fort William and Port Arthur, it has two anemic downtowns instead of a single one. Nonetheless, its industrial waterfront is a place of immense scale and power.

Thunder Bay in 2010 for work (125 photos) - When I went to Thunder Bay in 2010 for work, I stayed an extra day to explore the city. It was sunny and warm, despite being February, and I had a great time in the downtowns of Port Arthur and Fort William, along the waterfront, at Lakehead University, and in Chippewa Park. Also includes a few aerial shots and some photos of my Porter flight.
