The melting snow reveals snow fall layers from many prior seasons and Antarctic abstracts.
In one small section of this coastal area we spotted varied Antarctic abstract designs. The melting snow was revealing the layers of previous years of snow, creating interesting designs. These muted color patterns in the cliffs were several stories tall.
Eagle Portrait on July 4th, 2018.
How appropriate to photograph an American bald eagle on the Fourth of July in Alaska. In Hoonah, Alaska I was able to slowly approach this eagle which had apparently just eaten some fish. Yep, we made a return visit to Alaska to visit Denali National Park and cruise the beautiful coastline for a second time in two months.
America! …for purple mountain majesties
It was quite a wonderful sight to finally see the mountains of Alaska from our cruise ship. First small mountains in the distance, the Aleutian Islands, then bigger mountain ranges on the Alaskan mainland. Back in the USA after about six months of travel to places too hot for any human. Great to see snow again.
