Below you'll find a list of all posts from January, 2008
Pedersen Lagoon, Kenai Fjords National Park, Alaska.
The last 8 photos I have posted on Kenai Fjords, along with the photo in my Graduated Neutral Density filter post were all captured in this amazing location. I tried to describe it early on, but I think this aerial view really on a feel for this place. Ailaik Bay is in the foreground.
Imperial Sand Dunes, California.
In a couple weeks, we will be hitting the desert area for a couple of months, and wildflower conditions are sounding better and better thanks to another large storm. It may not be a huge bloom, but it should definitely be at least average, and probably above average – a big improvement over the last 2 years!Read More
Kayaking in Pedersen Lagoon, Kenai Fjords National Park, Alaska.
A kayak is a great way to get around Aialik Bay and Pedersen Lagoon. This was a little early in the season – the icebergs are a little thick by the entrance at this time of year making it a little tricky picking your way through the maze – tricky but fun! As the summer continues, it get easier.
There are numerous beaches for camping all around the bay, and the Park Service has food storage boxes at most of the best beaches, so you don’t need to worry about lugging bear proof food containers. The one thing you do have to worry about it the unpredictable weather. Short sleeve days like the one pictured aren’t very common.
Ghost Forest, Kenai Fjords National Park, Alaska.
Everyone calls these standing dead trees “ghost forests”. Don’t know if that is an official name, but it works for me.
These trees have been standing dead like this for over 40 years. Pretty amazing given our wet environment – my fire wood ends up rotting after just 3 or 4 years. So how did they die, and why are they still standing strong?Read More
