Not always, Sins. I have a photo taken from a small excursion boat visiting Tracy Arm, a fjord a few miles south of Juneau.

Tracy Arm is lovely. Deep green water, steep wooded mountains jutting tall from the water and walls of massive glaciers. I like it better than Glacier Bay which is much larger.

Anyway, once I was on the boat when I clearly saw an image on the face of South Sawyer glacier. My camera's batteries died at that moment so I asked my friend to shoot it.

She said, I don't see it. My camera won't see it either.

I said, Trust me. It will. Just shoot it.

She did and even she saw it after it was developed. I labelled it 'Spirit of South Sawyer'. I gave a copy to the excursion company and they have posted it on their wall.

It shows the face and shoulders of a seal-gut parka wearing brooding man staring back at the viewer.

There are so many things in this world I don't understand.
