Share a Surreal Photograph

That is pretty amazing.

I feel blessed to live in the Pacific Northwest where the beauty cannot be captured by mere cell phone cameras. I try to share even though for the most part all the pictures are sent with a caveat that " you should have been there"

This shot of elusive Mt Adams , a volcanic mountain in Washington, taken from a very remote lake and campgrounds is an example. You have to be pretty far from the beaten path to see this, but it's worth it

Frank...where was yours taken?

Yosemite National Park. Go in June when the waterfalls are at their best.

I thought it was Alaska...Frank thanks for sharing

I might be going there this summertime, as I am celebrating 25 years married , and an Alaskan cruise has always been on our "want list".
Wifey sounds kinda serious this time.

Of course, Yosemite is also on that list, but baseball cards need to be accumulated too, so something's gotta give!

I did an Alaskan cruise and would actually not recommend it unless you're too old to really get around on your own. If I had to do it over, I'd have stayed a week in Sitka at the fishing lodge where we had chartered a boat for a half-day. That half-day was by far the best part of the trip. Of the 10 days we were on the cruise, by the time I added it up, we had only spent about 2 and 1/2 days on the ground in Alaska. The rest of the time was on the ship dressing up for some silly dinner or watching Bowzer from Sha Na Na. And it probably would have cost less than the cruise to do the lodge. Probably wouldn't have gotten food poisoning ether.

Thanks for your perspective, Scott.
I'm not too old to get around, it just takes longer than it used to!

The thought of being in dinner theater instead of actually seeing/doing things in Alaska does turn me off. I will discuss this with the wifey and see if she has anything else in mind...assuming she still doesn't collect baseball cards

I ask her every anniversary if she'd like to start collecting prewar HOFers, but she says no , or sometimes "Hell no!"
