Quite a view you have there, tigre.

Mr. Warptman, do people in your area ever rest?

Fall time is when everyone goes into full throttle to get things delivered before freeze up.

Fog this morning.

Isn't it? It's like that everywhere here. That spot is maybe 100 yards before you get to the hatchery where I work. The lights are from the pipeline terminal, a bit further up the road.

Default Snow!

It was a rare nice day down here, so I took a drive up the Richardson (as opposed to our many other fine roads out of town...oh, wait...). Went to 48 mile, the Mt. Billy Mitchell rest stop, before I decided I needed to head back home.

A lovely mountain that doesn't seem to have an official name:





Looking north from Thompson Pass:


Looking down the south side of the pass.


The sun was doing something strange with the clouds up there, and it made everything sparkly.

I, Warptman didn't take one picture today. Had the honor of a day at the hospital. All is well though. I promise to shoot something tomorrow.

When visiting the Grand Canyon, I immediately felt like an insignificant nothing in the grand scheme of things. I'd imagine a person feels the same way when driving around in Alaska.

Me thinks Mr. Warptman has been preoccupied with a girl named Drew.
