Winter Is Coming; Mountains in Transition; Turnagain Arm, October 27, 2017
It is October, and snow is coming and going and coming again at higher elevations on local mountains near Anchorage. The early snow, white enough to be brilliant, isn't yet deep enough, even on the 5000-foot summits, to fully hide the rock outcroppings. Winter is inexorably coming, but the mountains are in transition. They are not yet pure white. And their terrain and features are revealed more clearly and graphically now than they will be either when the snow fully covers them in the coming weeks, or when all the snow is gone next summer in July or August.
Comments
After a lifetime of mainly expressing myself with words, my postings here will mainly rely on images. They will speak for themselves to some extent, but I'll usually add a few comments of explanation. I've taken photographs for decades, since the 1950's, inspired in part by my father's photographic skill. Four years of photo assignments and quality darkroom time eventually gave way to decades of casual and family picture-taking. I re-immersed myself when I left film and turned to digital.
