The next two shots were taken at home - my glowing candle in the master bathroom and one of a pair of hanging lamps in the living room.
***********
Spotted this amazing sky while on my way into Anchorage and stopped at the Hans Roelle weigh station to take a shot
I drove up to the Potter Creek subdivision just south of Anchorage, to try to capture the sunset from higher ground. Love the sun shining through the trees!The remaining photos were taken from a little pull-out along the Seward Hwy, about 8 miles south of Anchorage. I stopped here to take shots of the sunset over Cook Inlet/Turnagain Arm. All the colors you see in the photos are straight out of the camera - no editing, other than cropping (on some) and re-sizing for posting to the web.
The white you see here on the hillside is not snow, but frozen waterfalls. The snow had been wiped away by the winds and warm temps, but the frozen falls are more thick and solid.
Love the contrast here between the red rocks and the bright blue sky and pink clouds! Yes, these colors are real and not added in Photoshop ;)
Playing with artistic filters again -- I like this B&W shot -- what do you think?!
Most of the "water" you see is actually ice; the top part of the photo is where the water is moving.
It was a balmy 44F there along the Seward Hwy, but the wind was blowing so fiercely that I could hardly get my car door open to step outside and take some shots! Consequently, I remained in the car and took pics through the open window :) Oh - and this is about 20 degrees warmer than normal for this time of year...
This shot of the clouds is straight out of the camera - no altering of colors at all!
Love how peaceful and serene this image of the rock-on-ice "feels."
I've titled this shot, "Psalm 97:6" -The heavens declare His righteousness, and all the people see His glory.
