Neat pictures I've taken - Page 79

I took this image of my son, Liam wading in the Bartlett River in Glacier Bay National Park this past summer. He actually didn't have waders on but just took off his shoes and tried to get out on the other side of a group of Coho we were casting at. He said after about 2 minutes he couldn't feel anything in his feet!

Nice shot, but fishermen are

... I speak from experience.

I took this the second day we fished on the Bartlett River. We had just rounded the bend to our fishing spot and a bear was in the river scavenging salmon carcasses. Fishing regulations there require fishermen to through what is left after they fillet their fish back into the river rather then leave it on the bank where other fishermen might have closer encounters with bears. It is also a good reminder that even in the pristine waters of Alaska you better purify your drinking water, you never know what is happening up stream!

sorry, through should be "throw"

That first one (#1171) looks familiar.

Can I use my new word for the day:
I like the "bokeh"

2 more from my Alaska trip last summer. While fishing a bear went into the water about 40 ft from us (maybe the same bear as the last image but not the same incident), so my son goes off with a stick to chase the bear away. He lives up there every summer so he is used to bears... he also carries a 45 cal pistol!

Second shot was taken from the pier in Gustavus at sunset. Amazing I actually got a sharp image as much red wine was consumed prior to sunset!

I love Alaska, a place I could live. And I only spent 6 weeks there in the winter.

Pico and ME · 01-16-2011, 08:59 PM

Its probably just the perspective in the picture, but that stick really doesn't look big enough to chase bears away.

Gravdigr · 01-17-2011, 04:29 PM

Heh, can a man actually carry the stick that is big enough to chase bears with?

TheMercenary · 01-17-2011, 06:23 PM

It is not about the size of a man's stick, it's what he can do with it.

That's what Sheldon said.

It's not the size of your rod, it's how you wiggle your worm that catches the fish.

Gravdigr · 01-19-2011, 05:10 PM

It ain't the size of your pencil, it's how ya write with it. ?
