This last weekend (Feb 27-28), my friend Dave and I slogged up into the Alpine Lakes Wilderness to Tank Lakes. On the snowshoe in, an rather sizable avalanche occurred at the head of Necklace Valley. I got a photo of the fresh scar:

We continued on to camp at Tank Lakes, where we had a spectacular sunrise the next day.



I've posted my full trip report and many photos on my website:

I use Photoshop CS2, and "layer styles" option helps make the borders and shadows that add a more professional feel. It just takes playing around with, but its easy to do. Only problem is the price tag on Photoshop.
