Eaglecrest Ski Area, East Bowl Traverse, Juneau, Alaska – Image 2041

I shot this scene in the spring. The wind sculptured the snow packed trees on the traverse over to the East bowls. The photo was taken with a Nikon F/5 camera body and a Nikor 80-2000 F2/8 polarized zoom lens on Velvia film. This photo illustrates the month of March in my 2001 Juneau ...
