The shots on top of the mountain and on the goat track were taken by my hubby.
The on the way up series are a mixture of my photos and hubby's photos taken when we pulled over about half way up the mountain. The shot of the two of us was taken by our daughter in law during that stop and what looks like a fake backdrop is the real thing, just amazing.
Hope you enjoy another photo heavy post.

ReplyDeleteThanks Denyse, so glad you are enjoying my posts and thanks for stopping by and saying so.
DeleteOnce again, magnificent photographs and thanks so much for sharing your wonderful experience. I saw what looked like an extinct or dormant volcano so I looked it up and apparently in on April Fool's Day in 1974 smoke could be seen coming from Mt Edgecumbe which had been dormant for 400 years. The Coast Guard flew over the mountain and found stacked in the cone of the volcano a huge pile of old tyres burning. Oliver "Porky" Bickar had collected 70 old tires over 3 years and when visibility was right in 1974 he arranged to get the tyres where he wanted them and set fire to them. I just thought you may be interested in the story and you can ready about it on www.museumofhoaxes.com Hope you don't mind me adding this bit of info as I thought the story of the tyres so hilarious.
ReplyDeleteYes, we heard the story while we were in Sitka, it is quite funny if you think about it, and the guy went to so much trouble and expense to make it work. Glad you are liking the photos.
