…. I’m back! Sorry about the outage. My sister bought this webspace for me as a christmas present last year, and it auto-billed her again this year. She had no idea what it was, called her credit card company and reversed the charges. Dreamhost contacted me saying that my account was fradulent and shut it down. I explained the mixup, but they wouldn’t enable the site so I could retrieve my data, nor would they accept any form of payment except money order. JERKS! I sent the money order 2 weeks ago, and they finnaly re-enabled the account.
In the meantime I took tons of photos. I managed to visit spend a week in Deadhorse, Alaska, saw polarbears, landed on a few more frozen lakes and spent a few days in Holman, NT. Lots of firsts, lots of pictures.
To start it off, here is the picture of the polarbears that we saw about 75° north, 350 or so miles north of Deadhorse. We were dropping sonar bouys out of the back of the plane into open leeds in the ice. I was the bombardier while Terry lined us up down the lead and gave me the bombs away command. The successful ‘bombs’ that managed to hit the open water, without being damaged, reported temperature, salinity, and conductivity of the water as we circled above and Roger (University of Washington) recorded the data on his laptop. Pretty neat stuff..
Anyways, welcome back. Stay tuned as there is plenty more to come.
This shot is just awesome! Great composition with the diagonal slash and, of course, interesting subject matter. I like that you showed the moment before the cubs followed across…tells a story of its own.
What a beautiful photo! It’s nice how the small bears are looking at the parent and seeming to hesitate.
Good to see the dust back ;> Couple questions, did the pups make it across? and that split in the ice, is it from some ship? that water looks pretty damn deep..
that is wonderfull……gorgious….beautifull….well done ….so muth wonders keep up the good work
