Tonight I looked through my Alaska photos, which was really fun! It’s been a while since I’d seen them. I did a first round of choosing photographs for my Alaska website: 4 pictures for Skagway, 4 for Juneau, 4 for Ketchikan, and 4 for glaciers. I thought 4 might be a good number because I wanted all of the thumbnails to be visible on the web pages without a lot of scrolling. For the towns, I tried to choose a mix of pictures that would give a rounded view of the place: it is absolutely gorgeous on the one hand, but on the other hand, you have a strange conglomeration of old things and new things and a lot of tourist buses to boot :) Alaska is definitely a unique area.
Looking over the pictures, my idea for a color scheme was both confirmed and challenged. I had been expecting to use cool colors for my website, and the pictures did show a lot of slate blues and gray tones that were in keeping with my idea. However, I was surprised to see a lot of really lush greens in vegetation, and some really bright blues in the sky and water as well. I may try to pick up on some of these more vibrant colors for contrast, which was an issue that I had been wondering about earlier.
Another thing that stood out to me from these photographs was how often reflections showed up in water. I’m not sure if there’s any way I can pick up on that in my website design, but I’ll keep it in mind!

I am glad you will show us some beautiful Alaska photos. Are you going to include textual description of these cities too? I want to see more information about them. So someday when I travel there, I will check your site first and know which places are most worthwhile to visit.
