Personally, I don't think that it gets much better than summer in Alaska. Winter, not so much.RichardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773834892715980735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-70337903900012879662012-08-31T10:23:42.100-08:002012-08-31T10:23:42.100-08:00Hmm, your comment was also in the spam folder.

Trust me summer in a gruesome California heatwave is how summer is meant to be. However I am starting to look forward to the first cold front of the fall, about two months away. sigh.Conchscooterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08016331487463993200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-81217657999125498392012-08-31T08:19:08.301-08:002012-08-31T08:19:08.301-08:00I've noticed enough of a chill in the morning ...I've noticed enough of a chill in the morning to be tempted by the heated liner.

It takes two photos and munges them together somehow so some of the colors end up more saturated. But I kind of like the effect. The alternative was underexposed foreground or blown out sky.RichardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773834892715980735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-61327758364322873262012-08-31T08:09:31.883-08:002012-08-31T08:09:31.883-08:00The cranes are the line of black dots near the lef...The cranes are the line of black dots near the left center of the picture.
