Williwaw Lakes

Williwaw Lakes - Chugach Mountains, Anchorage, Alaska. It was just another rough day here in Alaska. I did have to travel quite some distance for this hike, though. OK, OK, it's still technically within Anchorage, but it's about 5 miles away from my more usual hiking locations. OM-D E-M5 II with Lumix G 12-32 lens. Two versions. One is taken from the pass, the other much lower from the bluff.
