McHugh Creek debacle
This is McHugh Creek Falls, a small 20 ft. waterfall located along the roadside on the Turnagain Arm, south of Anchorage.
It is a nice little falls, and easy to get down to. Also, apparently it is very easy to lose your polarizer at. The first evening I was in Alaska and I lose my polarizer in the drink. Ugh! It was definitely not a good start to my trip. I use that filter a lot, especially when photographing waterfalls. It is very helpful to reduce glare on the water. In a way, it was not a huge loss though. I had already marked it for retirement, and had a new one ordered. But the new one had not yet arrived in time to come to Alaska, so I would be missing the old girl for the rest of the trip. Maybe the polarizer knew that it was about to be replaced and wanted to die a peaceful death, laying forever in the creeks of Alaska.
