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. |

Some light in play on Juneau streets. Both were taken during a noon time walk, one in February, the other in March. There is a very short time of the year when we get strong, low sun light. Fortunately, the clouds broke and I was able to capture these two images. As an experiment, I've included the anaglyph view as a normal JPG and as a JPG 2000 file. The JP2 file is only 34K but looks every bit as good as the 87K JPG. Not all computers have a JP2 viewer, however, so JPG will be here for quite some time, yet. |

February, 2002 Fifteen miles (or so) north of Juneau is the Auk Village site. Until a hundred years ago, there was a thriving native Alaskan community there. It has a wonderful sheltered cove whose beach has a southern exposure and a few fallen trees. On the roots of one of the trees, a local artist has left some of his work for others to enjoy. Some other local (jerk) has tried to cut the artwork from the tree. Fortunately, those weather worn drift tree roots are tough and they seem to have given up (or broken a saw blade). The February sun strikes low across the cove and I was able to get the carved face squinting over the water and into the sun. September, 2002 Unable to cut the artwork free from its driftwood root, someone decided to destroy it. It goes a long way to support the claim that, "Whatever you create, I can destroy." |

South of Douglas, Alaska, are the remains of the Treadwell.
Once a company mining town larger than either Juneau or Douglass, Treadwell is now vanishing into
the hillsides. The docks that lined the towns have rotted away, and
all that are left are the pilings. Each year, they rot a little more
and wash away. |

On the same Treadwell beach. The birds have come to investigate the food at the tide line as the rusting and rotting mine relics sink into the sand. |

Juneau is normally powered exclusively by hydroelectric
plants. One of these is a smaller plant located near town and fed
with water from Gold Creek. Here, the flume carrying the water to
the turbine crosses a small ravine and curves off into the woods. As
the top of the surface is fully planked and it is laid at a steady and
gentle gradient, it is a popular Juneau walking path. The railing
visible in the scene is present only on elevated sections of the flume. |

St Nicholas Cathedral stands on the hill in Juneau.
It was built in 1894 and is the oldest Russian Orthodox church in
southeast Alaska. During my noon walks, I frequently pass the church
and the small park yard next to it. I was attempting to get the gold
toned dome
between the flag poles and above the gold toned fountain bowl.
Unfortunately, that vantage point also places the large metal bear
proof trash container squarely in the scene. In this view, the
trash container is visible on the left, but not intrusive. |
||||
A common sight in Juneau are the tourists clustered around
the bear snapping photographs. I have tried making this pair several
different times. The first time, using my A5 and the cha-cha method,
was on a breezy day and the flags and Devil's Club moved between
shots. This time, I used my Pro70 on a slide board. It was a
still day, and the results were much better. |
