Photo annual extravaganza

[Ridgerunner]

It's been a loooooooooooong time since we shared our best photographs and I am always thrilled to see everybody's contributions. So here is the opening shot, taken in Peru in August. Post away. Heck you can even post pics on kayaking...not that I care but I am sucking up to Darren.

That is an awesome picture, good job.

I just took these two a couple of days ago.

Katahdin from S. Turner

Hamlin from Sandy Stream Pond with a moose in the middle of the pond (very small)

I'm the kind of photographer that snaps tons of shots and hopes for a couple of decent ones, so don't expect too much!

Everybody's photos look great -- it's fun to see all the places I need to visit some day.

I am awe -- everyone's pictures are just so beautiful.

It's hard to pick one picture from our New Zealand trip this year. Rounding the corner and seeing this view of Harris Saddle is certainly the most memorable in my mind though.

It's really hard to pick, but I like this one because of the lighting, because it makes me look like a giant and because it reminds me of an awesome trip to the mountains... (This is from along the Twinway as I'm near Guyot)

 

[alpinista]

Here was another favorite -- from atop Mt. Monroe. I like the feel of solitude it exudes

 

[KayakDan]

Pedersen Lagoon and Glacier in Aialik Bay Alaska. Really cool kayaking trip!

[arghman]

this was a brief snow squall 3 yrs ago on the Kancamagus highway. It's looking south (towards Osceola, I think). [Any good pictures I take are aberrations from the norm.]

hey, where is a good internet photo posting site? (I don't have a homepage )

 

[alpinista]

Hey Jason ... several of us use Webshots.com. There's also snapfish and a few others, but I don't know much about those. So far, I've enjoyed Webshots and haven't had any problems with them.
