Kodiak

I'm assuming that is a church of some variety in the one photo. Not being an expert on onion/garlic-stylized structures with multi-crossed crosses, I wonder about the denomination being served.

Looks like an Orthodox Church.

Russian Orthodox ... onion dome churches are common in the villages along the Aleutian chain and areas of Southwest Alaska due to the occupation and influence of the russian traders and explorers in the 1800's. Sometimes the locals like to call us white guys Gossaks...its usually in a derogatory manner...but its a an evolved word from the Russian Cossacks ... not much love

That would, of course, be Eastern Orthodox rather than Armenian, Coptic, Georgian, or Armenian orthodox,

Thank you all. We don't have any similar churches anywhere nearby to compare with the one shown.

That's coolyou are making money with your photography. I know another of your covers was the new BLM manual. What were the others?

Church Pic...

That one is my favorite. :-$

Ya did good, Daryl!! But, we always know we're going to get spectacular photos with you when you post them. Thanks for sharing!! :clap:

:good:

Thanks for sharing these great shots! Took me back to last fall when I was weathered in there at Kodiak trying to get to Rasberry Island to fill an elk tag. Got the elk but it took 4 days of trying to fly into Kodiak from Anchorage because of fog and then high wind left us stranded on Rasberry until we were able to hitch a ride out on a seiner.

What camera were these shots taken with?

I wouldn't exactly call it making money John..
I got the cover of a book called Umnak ... about a small aleut village, Nikolski, on the island of Umnak. It's sold in the Museum gift shop in Dutch Harbor. Last time I was there I bought up the entire stock and gave em away as christmas presents.

This photo is the back cover ...Nikolski and Mt. Vsevidof (last erupted 1957)

The other book is an autobiography about a British Yachts Woman who competed as a skipper in Transatlantic and Southern Ocean Yacht races after contracting Breast cancer and having a double mastectomy. We sailed with her on one of these races.

we are actually taking a weather day today...Fog, Rain, Wind, Snow, and Sleet

Using a new camera ... Canon 5d Mk III, with a 16 to 35 mm Ultra Wide Angle zoom in HDR mode ... each photo is actually three photos taken at different exposures and layered in the camera before it writes to the memory card.

That camera sounds high tech., Cannon has made some good cameras, the state of the art 35MM Cannon single lens reflex I bought in 67 still works like it did the day I bought it.

and he was such a fraud. All he cared about was riding around in the back of that old Hudson.

Maybe some old farts will "get" that?

GREAT PICS WELL DONE

Special People

Daryl's one, for sure,
and a whole lot of others
I don't want to list all 2,390 of them right now.

Just want to say thanks, Wendell and Angel, for giving us all a place.

Daryl – great photos. I sent the link to my friends in town whose daughter Cassie, recently graduated from Western Oregon University, lives in Kodiak now. Her boyfriend works as some sort of harbor (or “harbour” in your native tongue) master. She works for the Kodiak Area Native Association. Goes to a lot of little po-dunk villages, as I understand it, in varied, interesting and exciting modes of transportation. When you see her, tell her Mike says “Hey”.
