PS - his brother has beautiful work at his shop in Anchorage - wow!

Thanks all. That's one thing about the sun being so low, lots of great colors. Kind of like sunrise/sunset all day long.

I have a gently-used Nikon AF Nikkor 35-135 lens. I gotta get some more knowledge down before I begin any lens buying. I'm kind of a numbers dork, so I have to look at the setting concepts a few times, then I have an epiphany. This is gonna be fun!

PS - I just love the ravens, I could watch them all day!
Awesome!! Can't wait to see more

I just got two emails. One with a job offer in Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta and the other from a friend with the most awesome pictures of Northern Lights from Yellow Knife, Yukon, Canada. Given that there are trees in the pictures, I'm guessing this area is not close to the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta in Alaska. The last picture is a rare picture of a 'fire rainbow' which are very rare. I'll post what the email said about it after the images. I don't know how to make the font smaller on this forum.

image001.jpg (16.0 KB), image002.jpg (17.7 KB), image003.jpg (17.7 KB), image004.jpg (16.8 KB), image005.jpg (18.9 KB), image006.jpg (26.9 KB), image007.jpg (13.2 KB), image008.jpg (23.2 KB), image009.jpg (41.8 KB)

THIS NEXT PICTURE, IS A FIRE RAINBOW - THE RAREST OF ALL NATURALLY OCCURRING ATMOSPHERIC PHENOMENA.
THE PICTURE WAS CAPTURED THIS WEEK ON THE WASHINGTON BORDER. THE EVENT LASTED ABOUT 1 HOUR.
CLOUDS HAVE TO BE CIRRUS, AT LEAST 20.000 FEET IN THE AIR, WITH JUST THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF ICE CRYSTALS AND THE SUN HAS TO HIT THE CLOUDS AT PRECISELY 58 DEGREES.
