Loved 'em all! Would just love to go fishing up there!
They grow large here, Chickenmom - bring your best tackle!
Ah... I always pictured Anchorage as a bunch of igloos.
The buildings are made of ice, thought, right? :)
And no squirrels? What's Bullwinkle without Rocky?
Aw, Steve, you HAD to go there, didn't you? :)
No ice buildings; sorry. And there are plenty of squirrels, but they don't hand around with the moose, as nearly as we can tell. A bit of discrimination there, apparently.
Anchorage has one of the world's beautiful backdrops.
WSF, it's true.
Rev. Paul,
Gorgeous pictures! Alaska is such a majestic place.
Time for some good fishing, hunting, and just being out in Gods country.
Beauty and adventure that seems so strange and far-away from our vantage in NW Ohio.
Thanks for the photo's!
We are looking into a drive North next year to spread my fathers ashes so I enjoy 'boots on the ground' images of life.
Sandy, this is a dangerous time, this year, for entering the wild: it's been so warm that the bears are waking up early. Hikers/fisherman look like lunch to hungry grizzlies.
Cathy, I understand. If I hadn't been stationed in the Aleutians in the Navy, I'd not have known what to expect after 45 years in the Midwest.
You're welcome, Max. I always try to use my own photographs, when possible. These are mostly mine.
As a picture is worth a thousand words, this may be one of your longest posts yet.
At least it seemed that way as I spent an inordinante amount of time gazing at the beauty in each photo.
Thank you for sharing.
