Working here in the winter I feel the people are just as interesting as the wildlife and the scenery here. Everyone has their own reasons for coming here, no two are the same even if they hold a common theme two them, we are all here for our own reasons. I'd like to share some of my favorites from this year, maybe add some more from last. Open to any advice or crits or any input.

    Great Photos

    #1 seems a bit bright but the rest are very nice.

    thanks, #1 was taken in some steam rising from the beach due to thermal vents. He was digging to be able to relax in a natural hot spring type of deal. So I think that adds to the brightness, but I liked how the steam hides some of the details in the back that become more apparent the more you look at it.

    The link to your blog is broken - can you fix it? I'd love to follow it...

    Thank!

    I really like #4 (because of the nice colors & clarity) & #5 (because it shows a bit more of the environment)

    Just out of curiosity (if I may ask). What brought YOU there?

    Ah the link is fixed, but it did remind me that it needs up dating badly.

    I work as the Station Electrician here at Palmer, best job I've ever had, not that I've had a lot though.
