A Week of Alaska

So here’s how my latest adventure started…. -Drive to SeaTac airport –Fly to Anchorage–Fly to Kenai on an 8 seater–Then take the above 9 seat float plane (if you count the copilots seat) who drops you off into the wilderness of Crescent Lake which has BEARS EVERYWHERE feeding on tasty sockeye and silvers. Then you get in a boat (if the passing bear doesn’t beat you to it.)

Then you spend 6 hours or so photographing all the area has to offer. It was AMAZING!!!! Hope you enjoy the next few weeks photos as much as I had taking them. We live in an INCREDIBLE WORLD…

Then you hopefully take a float plane out of the wilderness back to your fishing lodge in Kenai. I say hopefully, because the weather changes every 10 minutes in Alaska. We had to change our destination the first day because our first spot was fogged/stormed in. But they have times where they drop you off and then the weather changes and they cant get you out. Then you guide takes you inland and starts a fire and you all hunker down for the night (with ALL THOSE BEARS you were photographing all day!) Needless to say you don’t get much sleep.

The lodge was a lovely basic fishing lodge on the moose river. It had a group dining room and and outdoor bar.

Each cabin had two bedrooms, with a living room and bathroom and efficiency kitchen.

And beautiful sunrises and sunsets that were almost in the same spot (sunset)

Sunrise. Because you’re at the top of the world the sunrise and sunset are at almost the same spots…Very disorienting…but you barely have either because the sun is up for so long anyway…
