Doc and I spent a lot of time fishing from our boat in the Lynn Canal, in Southeast Alaska. Our boat was moored in Auke Bay, just north of the capital city of Juneau. I captured this shot many years ago when the fireweed was at it's peak, just about mid-summer.

One little member of this dog team was letting out some pitiful howls, and wanted nothing more than to crawl right back into his dog box and go home. But he had 300 grueling and very cold miles to run, before he would be able to curl up on his little straw mattress and return home.

Just back from Sydney's Vivid light festival.

The theme was our indigenous people.

The Sails are illuminated with the work of six Indigenous artists, celebrating the celestial Songlines of Australian Aboriginal astronomy.

This one is from across the water just below the cruise ship terminal.

Like the previous 2 years, we absolutely loved it and Sydney people really well behaved in big crowds.

Thank You Sydney!!!!

Thanks for looking and have a great week.

Steel industry at night... by contrast this is a most depressing looking site in daytime... and, as always, there is a minimal amount of digital manipulation.

The willows are finally popping out, and Mother Nature decided to decorate them with a little more snow today. I shouldn't be surprised though - as I have seen significant snowfall in the month of May, here in Alaska.

The willows you see in this composite, bloom just outside my kitchen window.

The pile of boxes and beer bottles stacked high against the alley wall actually appealed to me but none of my best post-processing could convey how I felt until I tweaked it into the realm of the abstract. :D
