Photos: Alaska (glaciers, otters, and meta!)

Day two, part four (and final).


My brother, his wife, and... yeah, I don't know.



Obviously, we didn't get as close as we did to the sea lions; the otters were a little more wary and a little more mobile.




An excellent guide.






My brother, again. I'm sure all his pictures are better because look at that lens!




The ice really is that blue.






This is as close as he got, but he was really curious.


Does anyone know how to turn off the blue borders permanently? I've tried adding css to the journal style, but it doesn't work and I have to manually add border="0" to everything.

the link border things? ummm make it not a link? add CSS to make links the same colour as your background?

[my_daroga]

Well since I'm using flickr to host, they have to be links, according to the TOS. I could host them elsewhere, but since I'm already uploading to flickr, I wanted to avoid that. I just can't figure out why adding CSS to make the links go away doesn't work. I'll try what you suggested.

I think it depends on your browser.

I hate flickr for just that reason

[my_daroga]

Well, I like the organizational possibilities. It works better for me than photobucket or picasa or the others I've used. Most services require that the photo links back to the service. But I guess I can just keep doing it manually. It's not a big deal.

I have tried this 'organisation' thing people keep talkig about, but in the end simple-to-use-big-pile-o-mess is my prefered option :p

[my_daroga]

Yeah... I find that if I do that, I just never look at the stuff again. It takes more time to organize, but at least I get some use out of it. I'd dispense with it, if I could.

i don't see any blue borders. maybe i'm missing something...

[my_daroga]

I've manually added 'border="0"' to every photo.

wow, alaska is dreary and boring looking, but at least if I ever went there, the cute animals would cheer me up! :)

[my_daroga]

You're kidding, right? I thought it was beautiful.

[freeparking.livejournal.com]

The otter is beautiful!

[my_daroga]

Hmm. I can only assume there's something lacking in my photography, then, because Alaska is one of the most beautiful places I've ever been.

[freeparking.livejournal.com]

It's Alaska, not you. The place isn't my cup of tea. Neither is the desert, but oh well, here I am. But hey, the otters!

[my_daroga]

So what do you like? I love them both. But then, I can't really think of a landscape I don't admire that's not concrete.

[freeparking.livejournal.com]

Lifeless desolation is probably a turn off to me because I've lived in the desert areas all my life. I love rainy or cloudy skies, plenty of green plants, and even more plants. England or something. Tons of grass. You know the type.

Otters!

[my_daroga]

Lots of Alaska looked like that, at least in the summer; I was surprised by how green it was. But you'd like it here, too.

I don't find the Arizona desert that desolate or lifeless, compared to others I've been in. But then, I haven't spent a lot of time there in awhile.

The glaciers are especially beautiful.

[my_daroga]

I was surprised they were really that color.

BRB HEADIN' TO ALASKA.

Seriously though, how gorgeous. I've never seen ice like that.

[my_daroga]

It's pretty amazing. You should go!
