Tide Up Mountains Down

A scenic view from the tide flats at the Old Valdez Town Site, Valdez, Alaska. This is the area where the commercial City dock was located before it was erased by the 1964 earthquake. You can see parts of the New Valdez Town Site in the distance in this photo. The calm tide made for a nice mirror so even though its a bit cluttered it provided a strong graphical image with lots of detail.

Superb shot. The stillness of the water makes the reflection really jump out at you. It's pin sharp all the way through and the mountains really stand out against the sky. I wonder what it would look like as a b&w conversion?

Beautiful natural looking colours and the shot looks like it could have been taken on a fine winter day in Scotland. Great reflection.

Excellent image - soft colours, perfect placement in the frame, lovely reflection, and just a very calming, peaceful scene.
