(22,756 posts)is so beautiful; as is mine
I don't want to ever lose the wonder I feel when I look out my window or when I see one of your photos or those of others here
even the awe I often feel at what some consider 'mundane'
(this is merely a comment of appreciation for your photos- as well as everyone else's here in the Photography Group)
There is an anaesthetic of familiarity, a sedative of ordinariness which dulls the senses and hides the wonder of existence. For those of us not gifted in poetry, it is at least worth while from time to time making an effort to shake off the anaesthetic. What is the best way of countering the sluggish habitutation brought about by our gradual crawl from babyhood? We can't actually fly to another planet. But we can recapture that sense of having just tumbled out to life on a new world by looking at our own world in unfamiliar ways. R. Dawkins

I was really fortunate to catch this shot. I'd been here for a while taking pictures of the sky, but the sun had gone behind some low-lying clouds, so there was nothing really exceptional going on. Then just as I was getting back in the truck to leave, there was this burst of pink, so I hopped back out and took a few more.
I really never get tired of this spot...it's always changing.

Cook's Inlet, right? Always a great stretch!

(46,436 posts)Cook Inlet. Actually, this is Knik Arm. If you look at a map of Alaska, you'll see Anchorage is on kind of a peninsula with Knik Arm on the north side and Turnagain Arm on the south. They're kind of like fjords that branch off from Cook Inlet, which is to our west.
