Memory of Fall in Alaska



This photo is from our extended Fall season collection. We were blessed to have such a long Autumn this year. A good thing to remember on going into January!

Neat Clouds


Smooth flying here, but look below. That terrain is helping the air mass over it create what are called 'Roll' clouds. Named for their shape and how they form. Like 'Lenticular' clouds, these are in a category I call "visible turbulance". To be avoided, and occasionally photographed when the opportunity presents itself.

What Goat?!




Just kidding, there is no goat. Just a rock peeking out of that cloud. We are well above it, and it looked cool down there, doing it's best to hide.

Big Iron


Nice shot of Asiana Cargo on final in Anchorage. Not really a desire of mine to fly a bird so big, but I can sure appreciate the engineering feat of something that large flying through the air. Amazing. As I recall these planes at gross takeoff weight are about 750,000 pounds. That's 375 Tons. Or more than 7 DC-6's at gross weight. Guess that's why they call them "heavy".
