Note: I would like to share with you through these few words, photographs and hyperlinked websites, a 3 Dimensional experience as though you were actually there with us. Click on any photograph and it should enlarge to a different size (view image in cursor list) ….. at least half screen or size full screen. It will be clearer in detail than the photo on the post. It will be as if you were really there looking at the actual scene. You are an arm chair traveller with us.
If you would also like to see the post in a larger or smaller size, I suggest you follow this procedure: If you right-handed, with your left hand, press down continuously on the Control Function Key with your left hand and with your right hand, move the little cursor wheel either forwards or backwards to make the text in the post larger or smaller.

Our group was going on a nature walk to teach us about how to take better digital natural camera photographs.
There only 14 people in a our group led by Brandon. See the photographs and detail below.
….. Brandon, the leader of our group was there to teach us about how to take better digital natural camera photographs as we walked though the trail. I asked him what would happen if a grizzly bear came upon our group. He said he had a can of capsicum spray to spray it in the face ……. See the sign below on the frequency of human-bear encounters. The sign says carry pepper spray. The difference between pepper spray and capsicum spray is given in this website: Pepper spray (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia). They both have a similar effect. Its inflammatory effects cause the eyes to close, taking away vision. This temporary blindness permits people using pepper spray for self-defense an opportunity to escape

…. Brandon, the leader of our group …. was there to teach us about how to take better digital natural camera photographs …… I am still on an e-mail connection with him in Alaska from Australia. Brandon had done a digital camera course in the USA and had come up to Alaska to be an apprentice to Mark Kelley. See Mark’s website …
I just had an e-mail from him in January 2009 where he said: I completed my work in Alaska at the end of September and returned to New Hampshire to be with my family. Before I left I made a contact with a National Geographic Photographer named Flip Nicklin. Now I am living in Maui and working with a non-profit whale research company called Whale Trust. I will be here until the end of April and will then return to Alaska. I have recently updated my website if you would like to view some shots from Alaska and around the USA.
