Did you ever see something so beautiful that there was no words to describe it! Well, that is how much I love this. I lived in Alaska for 3 years when I was a little girl. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks a bunch. I just signed up for the pictorial class. I've done only scenery and flower type landscapes (pictorials), but I would like to try people and hope this class will help me do that.
