Just passing buy the Panny forum and as always blown away by the wonderful images from so many people here...

Absolutely fantastic.

Best wishes Ray
 
Got a link from my nephew in Canada saying that there is a new proposed oil pipeline from the Alberta Oil Tar sands to the West coast. The B.C. government has banned an oil port being built in B.C., but the Native people have asked for permission to build a tanker port in Alaska in Hyder, which is just across the border from Stewart, B.C. in the Alaska panhandle.

My nephew and I visited Stewart about 15 years ago because our family has a bit of property bequeathed by my father. I was told there was a beautiful glacier on the Alaska side of the border and I could reach it thru a logging road. So away I went and took a lovely photo with a girl sitting on a rock over looking the glacier.

After getting the note from my nephew I decided to look for the photo and found it among my vintage landscape shots. Next to it in the album was a shot of a sunset taken at the end of a road in Nevada (I think) on an earlier trip I made with my nephew. I combined these two shots and they fit rather well.

Now the question is- will this be what the glacier will look like when/if the proposed pipeline goes thru? Will there be a road where the glacier used to be, or maybe just a black oil slick made by an oil tanker or pipeline. I hope not!

I have an old railway watch too, Trafford, but not in as good condition as yours.

Erik, here's an old shot from my first digicam, a Kodak DC290. I suspect the birds chose the high vantage point next to the harbour to get an aerial view of fish without the need to get airborne to search. -- Cyril

Beautiful "Double Exposure" PP, looks like an ephemeral highway to the Sun.

Outstanding.

Erik, do you not want any more boats?

Tom
 
Erik, thank you, much appreciated!

Yesterday my wife took me out to lunch at a pub further up the coast. As I enjoyed a plate of delicious local scampi in beer batter my thoughts turned to the men in boats that go out in all weathers to keep us supplied with the delicacies of the seas.

This wooden-hulled trawler, "Village Belle IV" was built in Tarbert, Scotland (hence the TT in the registration number) in 1970 and operates out of Portavogie, Co. Down - the easternmost settlement in Ireland.

TOM - of course I always want boats - not sure what happened, thought I replied as follows:

Ah! Tom: The old Clancy Brothers' "Shoals of Herring" - eh? !!

I've been puzzling over this one for quite a while - and, finally "in context" sank into my addled brain: Interesting close-up of a







shutter-stop.
