Auke Recreation Area, Auke Bay, Southeast Alaska – Image 2375

I wanted to show the lushness of the coast around Southeast Alaska. I useda wide angle emphasising the lush, green, jungle-thick plant growth alongthe beach. The high tide of the aqua-blue waters reminds me of tropicalwaters. Only the snow capped mountains in the background reminds the viewerthat we are in Juneau. This photo illustrates the month of May in my 2005Juneau Calendar. Camera: Nikon F5, Lens: 20-35mm f/2.8 Nikkor, polarized,Film: 35mm Fuji Velvia (35mm color slide film).-Mark Kelley
