Salt Chuck b&w
On April 4, a small group of the Juneau Plein Rein Painters went to Amalga Harbor to paint.
Here are some pics showing the area and my set up. It was chilly where I was set up in the shade!

Also, I wanted to let you know what a "salt chuck" is.
Here is one of the better definitions (of which I found just a couple):
Salt Chuck: The sea, or an inlet of the sea which flows into a lake or river.
‘The salt chuck is located across the bay from the dock. The entrance to the lagoon flows calmly and leisurely at high tide, but then turns to a churning white water rapid at low tide.’
Our Salt Chuck out-the-road in Juneau is similar to this description ...
at high tide the lagoon is calm and then rushes out to the ocean when the tide is low.
