Goodbye to Ninilchik

We had a list of things we planned to do in the Homer/Ninilchik/Soldotna area and we've finally accomplished them all. In the last two weeks we've: 1)photgraphed the village of Ninilchik 2)hiked trails along the many creeks and rivers 3)had dinner at Halibut Cove 4) visited Seldovia 5) dug for razor clams 6)went on a halibut fishing charter 4) explored Old Town Kenai 6) visited with friends 7) toured the Pratt museum 8) visited the Wynn Wildlife Sanctuary 9) fished the Kenai 10) photographed loons and 11)took photos of the volcano range at sunrise.
On Breland's birthday It was really cold (37 degrees) at dawn and there was a strong wind coming off Cook's Inlet. I shivered in the 5 a.m. cold and decided to let Breland capture the scene. You may notice he's a bit blurry. That's because I was shivering and didn't take out my tripod.
We had a terrific time in the area and we're ready to move on. We may be boondocking for the next few days so we won't have internet access. I saw "may" because we're not sure where we'll park next.

See you down the road.

Most excellent , everything in this image is fantastic.
Your favorite photographer is perfect against the lovely light present.
Wonderful composition and clarity.
His pose is perfect of capturing a majestic scene that is absolutely stunning.
If this were my image I would put it in a first class frame and hang it on a wall where all visitors could see it .
Really a wonderful photograph.

Actually I like that little blurr. I think it is fantastic that you took all of us along on your trip and I truly enjoyed those images from Alaska. If I ever get stationed there I will now look forward to it, instead of dreading the cold. See you soon again I hope. Vote.

Ahhh, the beauty of it all. Enjoy that cold--it is 100 degrees today with the heat index at 110--and dry heat.

Actually the shiver/shake adds to this... and yes it looks very cold. Catch you down the road.

Love the color of the mountains and this is a great composition. Are your sure Breland isn't the one shaking?
