For Ann -

...Till I came to the marge of Lake Lebarge, and a derelict there lay;
It was jammed in the ice, but I saw in a trice it was called the "Alice 
May."

And I looked at it, and I thought a bit, and I looked at my frozen chum;
Then "Here," said I, with a sudden cry, "is my cre-ma-tor-eum."


Some planks I tore from the cabin floor, and I lit the boiler fire;
Some coal I found that was lying around, and I heaped the fuel higher;
The flames just soared, and the furnace roared—such a blaze you seldom see;
And I burrowed a hole in the glowing coal, and I stuffed in Sam McGee.


Then I made a hike, for I didn't like to hear him sizzle so;
And the heavens scowled, and the huskies howled, and the wind began to blow.
It was icy cold, but the hot sweat rolled down my cheeks, and I don't 
know why;

And the greasy smoke in an inky cloak went streaking down the sky.


I do not know how long in the snow I wrestled with grisly fear;
But the stars came out and they danced about ere again I ventured near;
I was sick with dread, but I bravely said: "I'll just take a peep inside.
I guess he's cooked, and it's time I looked"; ... then the door I opened 
wide.



And there sat Sam, looking cool and calm, in the heart of the furnace roar;
And he wore a smile you could see a mile, and he said: "Please close 
that door.

It's fine in here, but I greatly fear you'll let in the cold and storm—
Since I left Plumtree, down in Tennessee, it's the first time I've been 
warm."

have it on my shelf - selected works.. although It might take me a while 
to locate it..


In one of those crazy coincidences, someone just sent me a photo he took 
of an elderly

guy named Sam - but very much alive.

"Sam" is also the name I give to all ravens I encounter and the K-x that 
I loaded with TRi-x


the camera holding film was BUBBA.

Sam and bubba were two kitty cats in my acquaintance
... also short for Samantha...

Samantha turned out to be the name of an irish setter I photographed in 
Central park back in the 70's..

my first KINSA award from NY POST.

free association time... I do have a photo of Service's cabin but it 
ain't much of a keeper.


Thanks for posting, paul :-)

That is a superior gallery, Ann!

Great wilderness landscapes; nice close-ups of flora and fauna;
effective lifestyle views;  a great portrait of a great region of our
country.

I was especially drawn in by the image with th listing telephone poles
and quite amused by the mass of signage.

Fine jog overall.

Re: Geso : Alaska shots (inclu Denali :-))

2015-11-15 Thread ann sanfedele

Thanks, Dan... I presume it brought back some memories

The signpost forest in Watson Lake , Yukon is right along the Alcan and 
started when the road was being built...
It extended well beyond the width of my frame and growscontinually.  
I'ts on the west side of the town, at the
junction with the Campbell highway (which is not a highway in any sense 
most of us know, but it does take you
up to intersect with the Klondike HIghway and Dawson and ferry across 
the Yukon to the Top of the World Highway...
To quote my 1992 MILEPOST it"was started by Carl K Lindley of Danville, 
Il a US arm soldier in company D, 341st Engineers, working on the 
construction of the Alaska Highway in 1942".  He was scheduled to 
visitWatson Lakein 1992 atthe 50th Anniversary of the highway.
Took this in 1989 - the 1992 Milepost said there were 13,000 signs and 
people travelling the Alcan bring more.

That's my sweetheart observing them for scale in the photo

The farthest west wegot in Alaska proper was the Homer Spit...

I think about Blurbing - but maybe another calendar  of the just 
funkier, quirky stufffirst
