At least thats what I call it, since the phone company Alascom put a big microwave relay antenna on this cool hill in the middle of a glacial valley. This is about 1/3 (IIRC) between Palmer Alaska and Glenallen Alaska on the Glenn highway.

They built the fire station with a nice view of Mt. McKinley (Denali) and Mt. Foraker. Those mountains are about 150 miles away!

Beautiful shot, Mike! The reflections are awesome. Is that a crop or a panorama? If it's a panorama, it's impossible to see where it's stitched.

Very nice shot, Mike.

Alaska is on the list, but first, I have 13 more states to see here in the lower 48. Then I'll get number 49 and 50. [saving the best for last?] smile
