Anchor Point




This is the westernmost highway point in the United States! Unfortunately (note the ominous clouds) the weather was a bit nasty, so we didn't stay overnight like we'd planned so I'm back in Anchorage. We went, we collected the fish, and we came back. Ten hours of driving in one day is a little exhausting, but luckily the driver, a post-doc named Matt, was a fellow photographer, so he kept stopping the car and we'd all get out and photograph the scenery. He and I have matching rebels, but he's got several lenses and I only have the kit lens, so I developed a bit of lens envy every time I couldn't get a shot as wide or telephoto as I'd like. Once I'm actually making money I'll be able to trick out my camera, too! Anyway, I have a lot more images from the trip, but I don't have the energy to edit them all, so this is all you get for today. It's definitely my favorite of the day, though.

Thank you, Frank! And thanks for the link. I looked at those (for far too long while I should have been labeling centrifuge tubes or something) and they're just gorgeous. Definitely something to aspire to.
