Wednesday, 15 March 2006 - Awe-inspiring Turnagain Arm

I used to think that the drive along the Columbia River Gorge was one of the most beautiful in the world.

Alaska, however, has proved me ignorant: the drive south from Anchorage along Turnagain Arm now takes the cake and reminds one of the Gorge farther south, yet is many times more majestic and breathtaking.

Further travels around Alaska may prove me wrong again, and I intend to give you the photographic evidence to prove it. Until then, I leave you with this, one photo of what should have been a panorama, if only I had the money to spend on a professional-level photo-stitching program.

It wasn't too bad... maybe 20 degrees or so :)

My plan for the days I have off this week is to have a mini-Alaska adventure and take that drive again and take tons of pictures... I'm going to get to use my Nikon FM (yes, an aged relic as old as I am) for the first time in ages in an absolutely gorgeous environment... I'm so excited!
