The gals heading further up Falls Creek.

The two photos below are scanned slides. Taken in the Olympics, in Washington. An old friend Joe, and I had been hiking and stopped to rest at this spot, which had a fine view. We were above some low lying clouds. The clouds were moving in, up and over the mountains. A nice show.

Thankyou Stephen (http://www.vodkapundit.com/) for the very kind words. I see so many photoblogs by people with truely great talent and photgraphic skill. I feel very fortunate that I have Alaska to photograph to make up for my midling skill. Sometimes, when standing in the mountains on a beautiful day, I think that it would be more of a challenge to make a bad photo. But I love photography and sharing the images and I hope that I improve as time goes by. That's one of the purposes of this blog. Enjoy.

The top photo was a kodachrome slide taken withmy Minolta. The lower image was with the Canon S110.

The 'Top of the world' highway, near the US/Canadian border. West of Dawson, in the Yukon. Minolta XG-1, 35-135 lense. Taken during a spring bike trip a few years back.

As promised, another remote strip approach photo. Don't ask me why I have a hangup on 'em because I don't know. THis is coming into Lime Village. A different trip from the the preceeding photo. This was in a twin. (insert audible sigh of relief, here)

This is flying through Merrill Pass in a 207 on our way to Lime Village, which is approximately 200 miles west of Anchorage. Personally, I prefer flying the pass in a twin. There are several wreckages visible on the mountainsides, where some poor unfortunate got caught below a dropping ceiling and couldn't turn around and get out or climb out of it. But itis beautiful.
