Me Myself and Eye Yeye Yeye

My 1st self portrait on my 1st trip to Glacier Nat. Prk. (Crown of the Continent). I set up my tripod and hit the timer shot on my 1st. drive on Going To The Sun Road... The fires where very bad the summer of 2003 in MT. As they are now in 2012... Exsqueeze me while I kiss the sky... In whatever you do, remember to give it a "KISS"... And keep it simple stupid ^-)<br />
The distinct and pungent smoke of burning pine sap filled the lungs and the renta car interior. I now have an inate respect for the Smoke Jumpers, and all the Fire Fighters who risk thier lives and partake in this yearly Summer ritual when the Wild Fires rage. Seeing Glacier like this was burned into my memory...No pun intended &-)
