Travels To Alaska | Alaska Part I
Nathanael Berends June 11th, 2008
I have arrived safely in Alaska. It is beautiful up here.
And now, some photographs.
Flying into Alaska was georgeous. I sat next to a kindly woman from Anchorage who informed me that, for our viewing pleasure, this flight featured a sunset and a sunrise–in the same few hours. In this photo, the sun has set, though only a little way, below the horizon.
11:34pm. It is bright as daylight outside.
Flying over Alaska.
The sun has risen.
And is now beginning to set again.
This photo shows two things. The first thing, almost exactly center, is a Grizzly Bear and two cubs. The second thing is that I need to buy a longer lens for my camera. Pronto.
Two very young Great Horned Owls. Their mother is off finding food.
Teklanika River. So cool.
(more photos to come. stay tuned.)
ahhh it’s sooo beautiful! I didn’t even know that you were heading out there! Travelling alone?
Please keep me updated! I’ve always wanted to go there:)
Great photos! Were you out walking? I’m confused by the sunrise sunset pictures….it went down then up or the other way around? Its so exciting you’re there! Write Sita if you can - she has news…..
