My Five Most Popular Photos

Well, I’m on a mini-vacation at Sunriver for Labor Day weekend.  I’ve brought my camera and I’ve taken what I think are some exciting photos.  Unfortunately, I forgot my card reader at home and I can’t download the images onto my computer to process them.  I’ll have to wait until I get back home to [...]

Dirty Glacier Ice

This is the last picture I took up on Glacier 13 on the Alaska Cruiser Trek.  I set the tripod up about two feet up off the ice to accentuate the rolling hump of ice next to the snow-covered crevasse.  I really pushed the HDR in this photo to highlight the blue glacier ice, the [...]

Glacier 13 Line-up

This is another picture from the Alaska Cruiser Trek.  We are lined up on the glacier.  We couldn’t go any further because the crevasses stopped our progress.  You can see some snow-filled crevasses in the foreground.  No idea how deep they might be.  Some were filled with water and are very dangerous.  If you fell [...]

Glacier 13 on the Alaska Cruiser Trek 2010

I just got back from an amazing off-road Trek in Alaska, the Alaska Cruiser Trek 2010.  Here is a link to the thread on the ACT 2010 starting when people got back and started posting pics.  I did the driving for my land cruiser.  My dad and son came along.  But by driving all the [...]
