hey Folks,

So, here’s an image of Denali I don’t think I’ve posted here before. Mount McKinley is simply one big grand mountain that is ALWAYS a treat to see. I saw it a few days ago. This photo though, was taken last August when I spent a week camped out on the tundra, not far from this pond. Actually, this little pond was my water source. Every morning, after I’d do some shooting, I’d saunter down, ever so casually, fill up my one quart pot, stroll back over to the ‘kitchen’ and make breakfast - (more…)

Hey Folks,

I think Glacier National Park is one of the grandest places in North American, certainly that I’ve been. My first ever solo trip out backpacking in the Rockies was at Glacier National Park, many years ago. I was scheduled to go with a friend of mine, and he bailed out right before the trip - I had to choose between going solo and canceling. Like there was an option! I had no idea at the time, but that trip probably put me in Alaska right now, and on the road to being a backpacking guide.

I flew out to Kalispell, got off the plan and grabbed a shuttle straight to the park. I remember arriving in the park, in awe, trying to see it all in one breath - impossible! Trees towered over me as we travelled through the forests of the Western edge of the Rockies - huge, healthy, trees, tall as the sky. (more…)

Hey Folks,

I promised I’d stop with the dog-fest today, so indeed, being a man of my word, I did exactly that. Here’s a photo I shot last September on the now infamous trip thru the Canadian Rockies with my parents. This is Peyto Lake, one of the icons of the Canadian Rockies and Banff National Park. Little trivia again. Anyone care to explain the rich color of the lake? I’ll give ya a hint. It’s cold.

Cheers

Hey Folks,

I’m heading bush in the morning, so it might be a while before I can get to the blog. I’ll try my best to keep up regularly. In the meantime, here’s a photo I took one afternoon on our Skolai Pass Photo Tour this last fall.

This trip I’ll be gone a little longer, and have some new ideas for images, and places to visit, so hopefully I’ll get some interesting photos. I also have a new 12v battery and an inverter so maybe I can use my laptop more than once a week and get some downloading and image processing done from time to time. I’ll be skiing a bit too, so that might help me get to some previously unvisited vistas! I’ll also have lots of clothes, as the temperature’s been WAY down low over that lately, so extras might be a good idea. If anyone wants to come visit, please let me know via email, and bring fresh veggies with ya!

I’ll also try to maybe post some of the stuff I’m writing over there, rather just blasé notes about my blunders in the park. I don’t know interesting it might be, but I’ll give it a whirl. If you’re REALLY lucky, I’ll post it all in Spanish.

Cheers

Carl
