Late-Night Hike

Jun 8, 2009
Alaska, Photography

Spur of the moment last week, I decided I wanted to go out hiking. Original plan was to go up Flat Top again, but it was too crowded for my taste. I settled on one of the mountains in the nearby valley. It was a bugger to get up, but the view was nice.


 

I believe I am the only one who can complain about mosquitos. That shot was not macro’ed, they are freaking huge!

The sunset photo was taken on my way down the mountain around midnight. The bugs are annoying, but I sure love these summers ^_^

    Gosh, that sunset sure as heck is worth the bugs!
    They are coming in all sizes here in Hungary too.
    Worst are the horse flies. They are just now coming out again.
    I didn’t miss them :(

    That is one massive mosquito! Ours are nowhere near as big, though they are vicious and do have a particular attraction to my own tender flesh.

    Beautiful sunset too.

    I took one for the home-team. I took a few shots until I got one I liked ;)

    Yikes. Pretty sunset. Yucky mosquito. I’ve read – and had a friend who tired it confirm it – that taking brewer’s yeast is a good protection from mosquitos. They don’t like the way it makes the blood smell/taste.

    Great picture for RT and it is nice of you to let the locals have a meal. Did you kill it after taking the picture. :)
