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.)
