Comments on: Winter, Wrangell - St. Elias National Park, Alaska. http://skolaiimages.com/journal/2008/02/26/winter-wrangell-st-elias-national-park-alaska/ Nature, Travel, and Adventure Photography by Carl Donohue Wed, 19 Nov 2008 04:00:37 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc By: Carl Donohue http://skolaiimages.com/journal/2008/02/26/winter-wrangell-st-elias-national-park-alaska/#comment-779 Carl Donohue Thu, 28 Feb 2008 20:27:48 +0000 http://skolaiimages.com/journal/2008/02/26/winter-wrangell-st-elias-national-park-alaska/#comment-779 Hey Mark, Thanks - that's true, it does make it hard to see the scale .. which is funny, because having been there and taken the photo, I don't see it that way - I automatically see it as I saw it when composing the picture .. it's interesting how differently the photographer will see an image and how differently the audience will. I guess the photographer is more of a witness, because what they (in this case, I) saw is a reality, and the the audience are viewers, as they're seeing an abstraction - a not insubstantial difference of position. Cheers Carl Hey Mark,

The lack of scale is what makes it so interesting. I love ambiguous shots like this that can represent a so many different views. The lack of scale is what makes it so interesting.

I'll try to post another trivia before too long. Cheers Carl Hey Beth

I want to lay on that blanket of snow & make a snow angel. But I wouldn't want to disturb the beauty of it! It kind of looks like the moon, without all the holes. And cheese, of course. Hi Carl, great to hear from you. Don't forget the trivia when you have time. Hope you are doing well. That’s a beautiful picture. I want to lay on that blanket of snow & make a snow angel.
