Day 100! Skagway part 4

Friday, April 8, 2011

(EXIF data on request, or check it yourself: it is still attached to each photo…) HEY!  We’re going over that trestle! We are making a big loop across the valley, and have several bridges like that.  Here is the approach to that trestle. From over here you can see what is above those trestles. There […]

Monday, April 4, 2011

(EXIF data on request, or check it yourself: it is still attached to each photo…) A few of the waterfalls in the mile or two after that train yard.  Mostly. Still gloomy weather. Hey… This could be interesting… *** ~Curtis in Alaska! {!-{>

Day 98: Skagway, part 2

Monday, April 4, 2011

(EXIF data on request, or check it yourself: it is still attached to each photo…) Into the woods we go! Yes indeed, it is a long train.  The green and yellow are the engines. The WP&YR is a narrow gauge railway, and it makes very tight turns. The engines are to the right of the […]

Day 95: By Special Request!

Saturday, April 2, 2011

A request to see more of that fancy .45 handl’n! A hand covered rapid fire 7 rounds at 25 meters! Obviously a staged photo…taken from in front of the muzzle. Winter of 1983-84, I think…it only looks a bit like Stalingrad! ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

Day 94

Friday, April 1, 2011

These were probably taken in 1975 or 1976, with my then new Olympus OM-1.  For the sunset I think I used my Vivitar 35mm wideangle.  This is from our backyard in Whitefish, /\/\onTana! For the lightning I went down to Whitefish City Beach, and using a tripod and probably my Vivitar 85-205mm zoom telephoto, I […]

Day 92: Deutschland! c. 1983

Friday, April 1, 2011

Going way back, I found this photo taken after touring Schloss Heidelberg (Castle Heidelberg).  They had us all sit for a group photo, even though we weren’t a group.  The photo has 13 June 1983 written on the back.  I am in the back row, just right of center, wearing the Sundance Saloon tee shirt. […]
