| Bert and Mary Anne Sirkin reside in West Hartford, CT and
travel two or three times per year to some "photo" destination. Bert is the
"technician" and Mary Anne is the "scout". It takes the two of us to
compose and "capture" photos. Here are a few photos of us in "high" places. |

This photo was taken with a Nikon One-Touch (point and shoot camera) by the pilot of the bush plane that took us to a glacier at the 12,000 foot level of Mt. McKinley in Denali National Park in Alaska. The plane took off on wheels and landed on skis on the glacier.
Mount McKinley is 20,320 feet, the highest mountain in North America, and although hard to tell from the photo, the peak is 8,000 feet above and directly behind us (with the blowing snow on it). For more info on this flight see http://www.alaskaairtours.com/

| This photo was taken on top of
Mona Kea on the "Big Island" of Hawaii. We drove up the mountain in a
4-wheel drive vehicle. It was about 22 degrees, windy, very dry and
painfully lacking in oxygen! But this is called Fun!
