34. Great sculpture shot!

Much preferable to the ass shot you ended the thread with. :P

Nice thread all around, though it kills me to see so much corporate/kitschy crap. I want to imagine Alaska is all like BlueInAK's beautiful sunset and mountain photos. They paved paradise, put up a parking lot. :( No place is safe, I guess.

Anchorage isn't so bad. It's got it's own weird charm.

[cleofus1]

36. Great thread

What fun to see the city of Anchorage. But I see you just can't get away from those damned Alaskan sunsets. ;)

[F.Gordon]

38. Anchorage has an Airport........ and Buildings?

:wtf:

I won't comment on any one photo because I'll never be able to get the count/number right. Just say.. very nice series. Looks like you're having fun with the new camera. Thanks for sharin' these. Did you buy a Cartoon from Chad?

[Blue_In_AK]

39. Now, F., I cleared this up for you people a while ago...

Anchorage does indeed have a shiny new airport -- the TED STEVENS ANCHORAGE INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT -- and don't you forget it. Pork spending at its finest.

[cleofus1]

an autographed book for 20 dollars and two t-shirts for 15 each...he was very cool and son loves the book!

[NashVegas]
