Helicopter Ride at 7000 Feet.

D70 12 - 24mm (24mm)

An additional shot during our helicopter ride took us over the top of a 7000 ft mountain. I was trying to get the contrast between the smooth snow and clouds and compared them to the harsh mountains. Also in the photo was a drop of rain and the very dim outline of the pilot's reflection that can be seen on the right side. If anyone has a chance to take pictures while in a helicopter, take the ride. Next stop the iceburgs and bear.

My wife and I were considering an Alaskan cruise late in the summer but decided against it. After looking at these pictures, we will seriously reconsider for the future. I have always wanted to go on an Alaskan cruise.

This is a beautiful shot. The color of the sky and overall scene looks so surreal.

Another nice shot, Dolph!

Gail and I took this cruise a while back. It was in the pre-digital days. We really enjoyed the scenery and the little towns that we stopped at. Unfortunately, we did not go on a helicopter ride (lucky Dolph!), but I did manage to get some interesting shots on film.

We would highly recommend this to anyone interested in spectacular scenery, and a relaxing cruise.
