Catching up: Summer photos

Salmon Glacier

Here's a quick collection of the best pictures I took on the road between Arkansas and Alaska.

I've tried to visit this lake multiple times in the past, and have been foiled every time (with one moderately successful visit in May under difficult light, see a few posts back), so I'm glad to finally get it right:

And here's a hugely large panorama I made which got a metric crapload of views when I posted it to Flickr (over 30,000 views the first day!). Apparently people really like being able to zoom in to individual trees several miles away...

I tried to visit here in May but the road was still too damaged from the winter:
