Poot Peak
Poot Peak (1,230 ft), is set on China Poot Bay, directly across the waters of Kachemak Bay from the Homer Spit. Although it is not nearly as lofty as many of the neighboring heights, the Poot is one of my favorite mountains in the Kenai Range. It has character, and a charm of its very own.
Poot Peak also maintains a place in the local lore, with many folks claiming that a bear's face can be clearly distinguished on the side of the peak when it is dusted with snow. I'll let you decide for yourself. Here are a few different photos taken yesterday.
The Poot can also be seen in the sequence taken from the Perch in the previous post. Look for it in the third photograph of the series.

Full Panorama from the Perch (Almost)
They don't make a camera that can capture the panorama from the Perch in one photograph, but I can give you a closer approximation of the experience with a sequence of photos.
These fourteen photographs were taken from my front door this evening, and from top to bottom they connect as a series, providing a pan shot from left to right of my view of the Kenai Mountains and Kachemak Bay.
If you look closely, you will find that there is a slight overlap from one photograph to the next, and you can see how they should fit together to compose a single ultra-wide-angle shot.
I've titled this post "Full Panorama from the Perch (Almost)" because the view actually extends further in each direction. Grewingk Glacier and more of the Kenai Mountains are to the left (beginning the series), and the vista continues on to Seldovia, the termination of the range, and Cook Inlet to the right.
