I have included file sizes in the image links. Please take a moment to check these sizes before you begin downloading images for viewing. Several of the JPS files are very large and will be painful to download over a modem link. The images are presented in cross-eye
and anaglyph format. If you prefer a different format or size, please give
the Stereoscope applet a try. |

Between Juneau and Canada lies an ice field. Between Juneau and the ice field are hundreds of valleys, basins, and fjords. My favorite is the Granite Creek basin. It is a short four miles up from town. |
||||
Shortly after entering the Granite Creek valley, is one of my favorite rocks. A granite boulder ha fallen from the mountain. Then the granite boulder has cracked and dropped a section. The cool part is the fact that the "mother rock" didn't crack farther and has retained a wonderful inside corner with three right angles. A freshly leafing Devil's Club is growing in the foreground. |
||||
Almost up to the first basin, the creek had broken through the snow cover. The long exposures required by the infra red filtering has resulted in the "cotton candy" water look. Since the sun is directly behind me, the clear sky above the ridge is unable to reflect any infra red light and appears black. The live vegetation reflects significantly more infra red than soil and rocks. The snow, of course, is reflecting almost all of it so appears the brightest. |
||||
On the ridge overlooking
the first basin, you can see the snow is slowly giving way. The pond
in the foreground flows out to the left and down the waterfalls pictured
earlier. The snow you see approximately represents where firm ground
will exist later in the summer. The size and extent of the pond
changes with the weather and the melt rate. |
||||
An infra red view of the first basin. From the shifting shadow it is obvious that this was taken later than the earlier color view. It was taken from the hillside, just above the pond, and quite a bit lower than earlier shots. |
||||
From the spot just above the pond, a self portrait. A bagel with some cheese for supper before the mosquitoes start biting, and then back down to town. As you can tell by my shorts, it was a warm day. |
