amazing scene. I once taught near Naples and from my window you saw Vesuvius. This is very reminiscent, but lab st barths operatives wiped all my many Vesuvius photos from my lap top folders.

Comment from Monica Morrell


Pat this is such a lovely scenic image. I almost feel as though this image has a "holy" feel. A Godly feel.
I can't pinpoint why but there is a strong sensation of holiness.
A beautiful image with great interest focus and color.
Thank you for taking me to the holy land. I needed this.

Think the mist adds a bit of atmosphere Pat in this,but slightly takes takes away the dof which would look immense in this and would not even hazard a guess how far that mountain is away from where you are standing...Brian

Comment from Brendaartwork18


This is another wonderful landscape of mountains, wayer and land. The mists are making this an unusually fine capture. The colour tones are restful yet dramatic. The clarity of the wayer and landforna are in good contrast to the middle mountain. I am amazed at see in such fine detail on the mountain face. Expert focus, and all the rest that makes an excellent result.

    Thanks so very much Brenda! Valdez is a wonderful little town, it?s nicnamed Little Switzerland because it is completely surrounded by mountains.

    Summer of course is the very best time to be here! We have sunshine for 19 hours and it doesn?t really get very dark in between.

    Amazing. We are truly stuck at the moment due to corvid. In Europe it is no joke. However if and when ... I will let you know.

A very nicely composed image with great colors. Whenever I hear Valdez I wonder if there are any residual effects from the oil spill from the Exon Valdez.

Comment from Lucas Sizov


This one is absolutely ð??¯ stunning and remarkable! Every part is awesome! Perfect everything â?¤, including the composition and colors, tones and contrast. Pat, you were able to capture the spirit of Alaska summer! The light is what makes all things alive. Golden ratio of the sky, mountain and land parts. The reflections are very good. Great depth. Peaceful and harmonious!

Stunning capture of the mountain landscape with great details of water and forest. I can see the different mountain levels with cloud around them. Well balanced light and nice depth make this a great picture to enjoy.

Comment from David Gagnon


Nice balance and composition. The green grass with the water with reflections are good foreground. The distant Mountain and the sun behind it with that cloud pattern is beautiful. Very nice shot.

What a breathtaking picture. You sure get around a lot. I need to get out and see more of this state. In the summer though I'm down commercial fishing in Southeast. Maybe this fall. Well done.

Comment from DMacKay


Oh, my, could a location be any more beautiful? Everything about this photo is lovely! The sky, the mountains, the trees, the reflections in the lake all come together to create a beautifully composed scene. I like the center view chosen. The focus is clear and sharp. Excellent!
