    I lost this wonderful dog about 7 years ago to cancer. Rarely does a day go by that I don't think of him.

      This is a really beautiful photo....he was lucky to have you and visit these wonderful places and he was a real beauty.... I love my dog more than anything, so can't imagine what it will be like when I lose her.... or what also worries me is if she lost me ..... it's a very special connection between people and dogs..... I am glad you shared this beautiful photo of you and Otto.

      Otto had a pretty rich life, and for a large dog (100 lbs) a long 13 year life too. He grew up in Fairbanks, spent some time pulling my brother through the wilderness on skis (skijeering) to get to his homestead. I think one summer he was tied up in a field when there was no other option for my brother ;< . Then to Anchorage for a few cushy years with my parents, followed by one day showing up at the Seattle International Airport to live with me.... He lived across about a four and a half thousand mile range, and had been through more states than many Americans. Yes, it was devastating when I lost him. But he still lives in our memories and on Flickr!

      love the vintage feel, also love how it depicts a beautiful moment before a stunning scene... meaningful photos like this (well, to you in this case) are what make photography so amazing imo :)
