A view of Eklutna Lake from Bold Ridge last Saturday. It was smokey from the forest fires in the interior, but a beautiful day none the less. Canon S500

Late summer morning. I love this time of day and this time of year. Canon S500

A photo from downtown Anchorage. It's of the Conoco-Phillips building. The Atwood building's reflecting back with a reflection of the Conoco building in it. It kind of reminds me of a double bank shot. Canon S500.

Another photo from Bird Ridge, a couple of weeks ago. Canon S500.

Downtown Newtok, in S.W. Alaska.

The earth station for Newtok. All telephone and internet communication come in and go out on this antenna. And yes they have internet.

The hills of Nelson Island in the distance, viewed from the Newtok Airstrip.

One of the things I've always liked about downtown Fairbanks is that you find old houses like this right next to office buildings. Canon S500

Chena River, downtown Fairbanks around 11p.m.earlier this week.

Several photos taken on Bird Ridge during Saturday morning's walk. All taken with the Canon S500. I have to go to Fairbanks for a few days, so no more blogging until Thursday at the earliest, perhaps Friday. Enjoy.

Something different. No sunny brilliant day, no great light for taking photos. No stunning views. Approaching Russian Mission on the Yukon River, down near the deck on a crappy day.

The White Mountains, north of Fairbanks, looking north. Minolta XG-1.

Ok, this is not Alaska. It's Hawaii. Specifically the Island ofHawaii, on South Point Road. It's about half a mile from the end of the road and about as far south as you're going to get in the 50 states. Minolta XG-1.

Denali again, from the NW and taken at the same location as yesterday's photo, just later in the day. Minolta XG-1, Fujichrome sensia.
