Harbor at Dawn - WHITTIER ALASKA (View larger please)

I wish i could be there and see this for myself. Very nice. Regards!

Very nice. Superb post-card. It makes you want to be there.

Tina, Tanya, Anuar and Ghinita - thanks for stopping by - your input is always appreciated.

Looking at this one, some nostalgic feeling came over me. Looks very unique to me.

Great atmosphere. Beautiful shot.

Amazing!

It is wonderful picture of The Inn at Whittier. My wife and I spent one night in the hotel in June 2009. It really gives me a good memory from the photo. I like the contrast between the fog at left upper corner and the clarity of the building, which give me a sense of balance. It's very interesting for me to know how to take the photo? Did you take the picture from the air?

Please see my Feb 14 2008 comment - "from a cruise boat deck". Really appreciate the visit.

I keep coming back to this photo because there is something so very appealing to the senses in it .... and I cannot quite explain it. It resembles something out of a familiar past, yet so very unfamiliar. Perhaps you can better explain it than I can.

It seems to loom large in a distant memory from the past, a memory that evokes simplicity, far-off romance, peace and harmony, a perfect setting for a care-free life. Congratulations on being able to stimulate a truly emotional response on the viewer's consciousness or sub-consciousness. Another photo deserving of a 7, if not for  the awakening of an emotional response alone!

Another photo for my wall-of-memories! Well done, Tony.

Jim - thanks - your comments are always very gratifying! Your maximum rating of 7 is also very much appreciated.

The lighting in this image is fabulous Tony, and helps create a very moody picture. The strong composition really helps too. Well done.

Tony - thanks. I did not think anyone would be looking at this old image. All the very best and I suppose you are still doing some concert photography.

Amazing photo! Bravo!

Tatjana - Thanks.

Just back for another visit.  I've remembered this image as being exceptional, and I wanted to 'borrow' your ideas.  I see that you shot this from the ship.  This  summer we'll be going to Alaska for the 2nd time (and I don't even have any images loaded from my first Alaska trip).  We'll also be cruising from Vancouver to Whittier, and we will have early departure, so hopefully I can get a good shot of the quintessentially Alaskan village.  A friend of ours who lives in Anchorage tells us "The weather is always shittier in Whittier".  I believe it......when we traveled through the tunnel we met very unpleasant weather when we were there.

Really like the high contrast between the classic structure and the fog obscured boats. Excellent. FS

Christal - I am looking forward to your summer images. All the best and thanks for your visit.

 

Frank - thanks.

Wonderful composition and use of light Tony! Best regards, Rob
