Day 278

Tuesday, October 7, 2014

Still later: Moonset over Moab at 4:16 am. The Moon went behind a cliff backing the campground we are in.  It is still up somewhere behind the cliff. (1/4s f/5.6 ISO6400 56mm -2 stops Canon 7D) ~Curtis in Moab! {!-{>

Day 247: Kodiak in the Rain!

Saturday, September 20, 2014

(I have seen photos of the sun there, so they must get it once or twice a decade, at least…) A three photo panorama coming into the Kodiak Harbor. We took the bus into town.  It seems like using school busses in the summer to get people from the ships to town and back is […]

Day 243: Anchorage (Hope), part 2

Friday, September 19, 2014

(A couple of new photos at the bottom!  And one in the middle!) After the Potters Marsh we drove on to Hope.  It is about 40 miles, at the end of one of the roads out of Anchorage to the South West. It was still pretty cloudy, although there wasn’t much rain with it. (Dailylife […]

Day 241: At Sea, part 2

Later in the day we approached Cook Inlet.  Anchorage is at the north end of Cook Inlet.  The Dailylife Wife is looking for critters in the sea and air. I have gone Pirate.  I have on “L” of a pegleg! (A bad, insider Canon/photography joke…{!-{P ) Two Common Murres skimming along on the water in […]

Day 222: Up Tracy Arm! Part 2

Thursday, August 28, 2014

Later in the day we saw a few other things than a glacier and a couple of bears… Another cruise ship! A whale drifted by the side of the ship.  That’s his back. There is the rest of…his tail… There is another one! Where?  Way, way out there.  You get used to spotting the blow […]

Day 194

Sunday, July 13, 2014

A selection of the Super Moon rising last night. Fife in the setting sun. The sky has some haze thanks to Canadian forrst fires.  Hence some of the orange on the Moon. (1/60s f/8.0 ISO200 79mm -1/2 stop Canon 7D) A Super Moon is when the Moon is closest to the Earth when it is […]
