Alaska III

Third day of the Alaska trip from September 3rd, 2007. A fogbow, just past Tetlin Junction. Mountains in the fog. Not that far north of Glennallen along highway 1. On the way to Valdez, along the Copper River. Worthington Glacier, as seen from the top of Thompson Pass. This panorama takes up about 130 degrees, and thus, the original image is really quite large (5850×3900 pixels, 13 megabytes). I stitched [...]

Alaska II

the second day of my Alaska trip, and (in my humble opinion) the best – some unbelievable atmospheric effects, in air and in space. Don’t mind the long post, and enjoy photo upon photo. Now 35% less bear feces. Double rainbow! Actually, we can see at least four rainbows (and maybe a fifth if one jacks up the contrast a bunch). Look inside the inner rainbow – note the repeating [...]

Alaska I

some photos from my Sept. 2007 trip to the Great White North. Here are days zero and one – I landed in Anchorage around 10pm so a few photos bleed back into the previous day, but in general they are of Day One and all the glories it contains. Now 35% more bears. Grim dawn weather in the southern-coast port town of Seward. The first day was pretty patchy, never [...]

New Interstates in the works

Three new Interstate sections are in the works, planned, or coming to fruition. Discussion on the AARoads Forum highlighted three recent additions: Interstate 781 is the number proposed for a new freeway spur from Interstate 81 to Fort Drum in Upstate New York. This route would enhance access to growing Fort Drum and bypass a current at-grade connection. A page for I-781 resides on the Interstate Guide as well. Interstate [...]

every highway on Maui (except one)

Now for some 2009 photos, here is dang near every highway in Maui… the only road I did not manage to take is the Pi’ilani highway across the southern part of the island, because it had been washed out! As far as I know, this is the only cutout on Maui. Maui – the land of random peacocks. The ‘Iao Valley, as seen in Jurassic Park. Notable for the ‘Iao [...]

Washington and Oregon

Going back to June 2008, for an Oregon/Washington trip I took. Entirely west of the Cascades. The Milky Way. Near Mount Rainier; well past the lights of the I-5 corridor. The arc trail, by the way, is an airplane – note the break in the trail which occurred while I restarted the exposure. And the find of the trip – this old-style Oregon 126 eagle highway marker. Marked 1/17/73 on [...]

South Alabama Road Notes

Some notes from a drive through South Alabama today: Recent construction on the next leg of Foley Beach Express' northward extension is already opened. The roadway stems north from Baldwin County 28 to Baldwin County 32. Signed as Baldwin County 83 and not the Foley Beach Express, the new four-lane highway travels 1.5 miles across Baldwin County 28 west to Baldwin County 32 opposite Lehman [...]
