A winter walk in Alaska

Jan Timmons

A winter walk in Alaska

A good snowfall reduces noise and cleans the ground of debris left by mankind. For this walk, I borrowed my husband’s 18-70mm 3.5-4.5G ED DX lens, used my monopod as a trekking pole and headed out with the dogs. Even they were quiet among the trees.

Such peace.

    Ohhh lovely, i can just imagine the quietness, just the footfalls and breathing noises, snow just keeps things so muffled. Lovely shot and draws you in

  • Jan Timmons replied

    Perfect description of the quiet, Simon.

    A lovely peaceful scene, I expect the only sound you heard was the soft sound of snow falling from the branches….it all looks so crisp and clean…..beautiful…....j:)

  • Jan Timmons replied

    Quiet and clean, indeed. Broken only by my whoops of glee, occasionally.

    we don’t ever really get weather or scenes like this where I live
    nice

  • Jan Timmons replied

    It’s very quiet. As Patricia writes above, good place for strolls/hikes in solitude.

    can you be eaten by bears?

  • Jan Timmons replied

    Not in the winter. The rules state that grisly grizzly bears and carnivorous black bears must hibernate in the winter.
    Now? Gets a bit iffy.

  • rorycobbe

    rorycobbe

    thats a relief
    In Ireland we don’t have bears.. although it might liven things up if we did

    it’s been ages since I saw snow but this image really conveys that hush you get – I can imagine the dogs quietening too. It’s a kind of magical feeling. I like that the way through here is very small. great shot.
