I wandered out last night with my wife with temps around zero and shot a few shots alongside the road in Hatcher Pass. I'm kind of happy with some of the results, so I hope you guys like them too! :D



Not much of a cool story this time, I've just been anticipating the full moon and the clouds cleared away in the evening, so I had to get out and shoot. We drove out to the closest bridge across the Little Susitna River and shot a few things from the easiest places to get to.

Then we headed up the road to get a higher perspective on the mountains around and the view of the Mat-Su Valley. Here's the lights of Palmer edging into view.

Then I moved over and shot the area's cliche view. :D Spend an hour at this overlook during the summer months, and five cars of tourists will stop, get out, and spin in a circle with video cameras running, then get back in and drive off. It's amusing for sure, but completely understandable.

    I was at that very spot in December (Hatcher Pass)! Truly beautiful! I like the shot with the creek bed and the little log cabin structure. Looks like it was a bright moon!

    ahh yes...I reconize this area well! Good thing you had some moon shining though. I am hoping we get a break in the clouds tonight as I am heading out and up to the Anchorage foothills to get some night shots. I had thought about going to hatchers pass but my sil says he knows of the perfect place to get some cool city shots.

    Anyway....very nice night shots!thumb.gif
