Whittier, Alaska is one of my favorite places to go and just take all the pictures i can manage. Although it has recently been run over by bobber fisherman and hikers who dont like to take their garbage with them i can still wander into the mountains for solitude. Cant wait for the snow to melt so i can spend weekends there again taking pictures till my clicker finger hurts ;)

Unfortunatly my camera only does macro's from about 3.5" away :) so this is as close to this bugger as i could get. A room with a view.

Half the fun is in having fun right? My freind just jumped out of the glacier water when he snapped this picture of me so he didnt get the horizontal quite right heh.

LOL Prez,
Is that you jumping into that frigid water? You gots ta be kidding :yikes I mean, this isn't exactly like jumping the falls in Hawaii :lol Guess you must be one of them Mountain Men :wink

I like the first shot alot. The water is a bit OE (using an ND filter might help nextime-long shutter speeds without the OE) but I love the location and the color :thumb :thumb The spidey web is kewl too :clap :clap If you would have had a macro lens you would have captured a big spider, but not much of that web. Personally, I like it better this way :D

Thanks for sharing,
Steve

Ya thats me jumping into that water :): heh You can actually see the glacier that its coming form when your in town. If you really wanted to get to the glacier its only about a mile or two hike away :thumb

Like i tell some people "if it wasnt moving it would be frozen"
