Sunset at Lake Hood. This was taken around 10pm. The mountain in the distance is Mt. Susitna. Lake hood is one of the busiest float plane lakes in the world. Tonight was a quiet night due to the windy conditions. Normally there is a plane taking off or landing every couple of minutes this time of the year.
Went exploring in a new place today. At least new to me. Virgin creek is located in Girdwood, Alaska. It was cloudy pretty much all day today. Magically the clouds parted just long enough for me to capture a shot where the sun is shining through the top of the gorge where the waterfall comes rushing out.
One of the run-off trenches of portage valley. when the tide rises this ditch is completely full. The silt/mud is a liquid but also a solid. You can stand on it but if you stand on it too long you will slowly sink. Once your feet sink below the surface the mud creates a vacuum around your foot that makes it VERY hard to pull your foot free.
