2008 Silver City Photo Workshop, Getchell Drug Store. Meserve M. Getchell arrived in Silver City in 1889 to be a clerk in this drug store and post office for his uncle, S.T.N. Smith, a pioneer of 1865. M. Getchell also helped his uncle with the Idaho Hotel, which Smith had purchased. In the early 1890s, following attempts at sheep ranching and milling, M. Getchell served out the term of former postmaster Richard Euler. He was reappointed for two more terms. In 1898, M. Getchell became a partner in the firm Shea, McLain and Getchell as proprietors of the Idaho Hotel. The post office, news agency and store was retained and in it he sold confections, stationery, cigars, tobacco, perfumes, and cheap jewelry. His brother, Asher A. Getchell, was assistant postmaster and manager of this store until 1898. (from Interesting Buildings in Silver City, Idaho, by Helen Nettleton)

The first time I've been able to get the hairs from the pronotal angles visible (barely!).

A fisherman at dusk on the Niger River.

Same place, but different month, to this one. This one was taken in November, the other in September.

We used to go down to a restaurant called "Le Diamangou" or, more simple, "Le Bateau". It was situated on a secluded little waterfront lot in Niamey, about six or seven minutes' drive from the city centre, but surrounded by a small village and by vegetable gardens. It was at the bottom of a steep bank (at the top of which was the Grand Hotel, another favourite vantage point)- so it felt completely cut off from the city proper, and was quiet and small and intimate. It's selling point, of course, was an old riverboat which was permanently moored to the bank bobbing a dozen yards out from the concrete jetty, connected by a fragile little walkway (which, after a few bottles of Biere Niger was a hazardous return trip). During the wet season, the boat bobbed quietly on the still waters which reflected the brightly coloured Christmas lights perpetually hanging from the sides of the boat. During the dry season, the river level dropped so much that the boat rested on dry ground, and the channel itself was fifty yards across dry gardens, but the atmosphere was always tremendous.

By the time I left nearly a year later, we'd turned Friday nights at the Bateau into an institution, and the staff knew us as regulars and greeted us warmly. The food would never win any awards, but was pleasant, honest fare, and the beer came consistently chilled with moisture beading off in the tropical humidity. We would get there for around five thirty, just in time to watch the sun set on the far side of the river, while the fishermen like this one drifted past on their little pirogues. The place was deliciously quiet, and the perfect escape from the dusty heat of the city itself. A haven, and one of the special places I recall from my time in NIger.

Niamey, Niger. November 2005.
