Thanks XN.
Color slide shots that are almost monochromatic seem to convert better than do contrasty slide scans.
At least, mine do.

Looks like you were standing on top of a mountain to get that view. You sure get around Charlie. I guess I prefer the first image because of the colour variation in the ice--that's always nice to see.

Thanks SS.
I was standing on a low bridge .
For shots like this I often zoom as wide as I can, and include a barely adaquate amount of sky so that in the lower part of the image things will be stretched out.
I especially like to do this with sand dunes.

Oh, I drove to Alaska for 18 summers of work as a tour guide, narrator, naturalist, etc. Come late autumn, I'd drive home.

For anyone who's been to Alaska, these are classic shots. I lived there as a kid and this just brought back memories. Thanks for sharing...I think I like #1 a bit more, sort of reminds me of Ragnar Axelsson's work.

I think I remember this spot - it is from a bridge?

I like these Charlie. They convey a real sense of place.

Thanks Tek, DanM, Phil, Kenny and DanP.
Because the Alaska Highway is mostly on the east or north-east side of major mountain ranges, it crosses numerous large, glacially-fed rivers.
Back when highway travel was infrequent up there, I could stop ON those long bridges and photograph. Even if a car approached, there was never another car coming at the same time for me to have become a traffic hazard.
