I wrote a full post for today’s Friday Foto Talk, but could not get it illustrated because of problems with my wonderful high-priced Sony computer, the very last product from that company that I will ever buy. In the meantime, enjoy this image from the (ancient) film archives, a time when I was young and full of fire, prowling the wilds of Alaska. I may be out of touch for awhile because of this. Have a great weekend.
Moose Pasture: Susitna River Valley & eastern Alaska Range, Alaska.
My past careers as science teacher and geologist mean that I can't help but teach about the natural history of photogenic places around the world. But photography is not forgotten. You'll also see practical tips about where and how to photograph the destinations. And once a week, Friday Foto Talk gives photography tips and how-to on a selected topic, for novices on up to expert.
What you won't find here is endless discussion about me braving dangerous weather, terrain or wild animals to get the shot. Nor will there be cheerleading gear talk or marketing pitches. I promise to leave that to other blogs, of which there are many.
Absolutely breathtaking picture
Thanks so much!
Good luck Mike. Sounds like your computer is as good as the 2 Sony cameras I had that were JUNKED. I’ll miss your wisdom but understand.

I also thot it was the Tetons when I looked at it. Wonderful scene. Too bad about that computer – those can be particularly frustrating problems.
Thanks Lyle, I’ll figure it out. I thought of another change you’d have to make: where Jenny Lake is put a glacier.
So pretty, reminds me of the Tetons.
Great analogue! The Susitna is very much like the Snake here. Clear out all the ranches and most people, get rid of all but one road and surface it with gravel, and let more wildlife move in and you’d have a perfect match!
Wonderful landscape ! Love this kind of place…
Thanks Max, I do too!
