Some Photography

Sorry if this is sort of bloggish of me, but I was digging through my photos and I thought I'd share some of the ones that caught my eye. I'm beginning to realize that I really do like photography. :)

But I'm also guilty of taking driving pictures. :p Not a good idea I know...

Thanks for looking. :)
 
*swoon* You live in such a gorgeous place, Dex. Your pictures are always a pleasure- thanks for sharing :)
 
The second to last picture and the one of the waterfall are amazing. Gorgeous place there Dex, I hope to visit Alaska some day.
 
At least driving and taking pictures is safer than texting and driving. Your eyes are still on the road! Kinda...
 
Thanks for the kind words guys. :)

Lol, I know! :p I really do not like texting and driving, so I consider it my little sin. At least there will be a picture of my crash!
 
WOW. :0o:

You are surrounded by so much beauty! These pictures have sealed my fate: now I absolutely have to visit Alaska at least once in my lifetime. I don't want you to get into any wrecks, but you definitely have to share more pics with us in the future!

Where these taken in Autumn? Hahaha they probably were! For a second I was thinking "isn't it supposed to be ridiculously cold in Alaska?"! Amazing photos and a beautiful place! I love all the cool little hills around the lake :s are they drumlins or something glacier made, or maybe neither?

:p Alaska is a big big place, there's a lot to see. I haven't even actually seen barely any of the state, myself. I'll definitely share some more pictures! I have loads, and there's always something to take pictures of. :)

??? That doesn't make any sense. Why do something standing still safely when you could be doing it at fifty miles an hour?

Lol, it was a rhetorical question, but thanks for the input, I like both of them just as well too. :p

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing

No problem, thanks for looking. :)

Actually these pictures were taken at varying times throughout the year, most of them in early spring or Summer, actually. I live in the southernmost portion of Alaska, so we're actually at a lower degree of latitude then most of the United Kingdom.

The "hills" are glacially shaped, yes, but they are also primarily created by the Pacific plate grinding up against the North American plate, some of these islands are geologically distant, and have "traveled" from near the equator.

The "lake" is also actually the Pacific Ocean.

Just checked google maps! Ha, never knew Alaska went that far south... I always thought it just jutted out from Canada and nearly bridged with Russia... well, I've learnt something new! If you are on the far far far part of Alaska, we are practically on the same latitude! Well, that was unexpected :D! What did we do before google maps?
