One of these days I’m going to get an enlarged print of this photo. I was so intent on the distant elements when I took it though, that I didn’t realize my shadow was in the lower part of the frame. I haven’t decided whether to crop it, try to erase me, or leave it as is for all those people that complain that I never appear in any of my photos. (Well, that’s sorta the point of being behind the camera!) And when I told that to Jenn, she said I should post it for HNT. Sometimes I need very little encouragement….
This is me near the junction of the Seward and Sterling Highways in Alaska.

“This is me near the junction ..” that is soo funny to me.. I was looking for “you” and saw the shadow…hahaha… Reminded me of Neighbor Wilson from Home Improvement who was always hiding his face…

That is so incredibly beautiful!
I like the shadow….it takes it from being too ‘picture postcard perfect’ into something real.
Just beautiful!

Another vote to leave it, for what it may be worth.
