ALASKA

Alaska is MUCH more than most imagine, especially those who have never traveled the state.
And, for those who have taken the infamous Alaskan Cruises, and nothing more,
there is 90% of Alaska and what Alaska is, that has been missed entirely.

This gallery, once completed, will attempt to show the viewer much more about what Alaska is and represents.
It is a magical place to this photographer, and a place on earth no matter how much I've traveled the state,
that leaves still a great magnetism to go back over and over to experience this great natural expanse!!


Great informational sites on Alaska:

IMAGES OF
Alaska

Follow me on an 'adventure' tour of the sights of Alaska.
Although you may see many of the bird / mammal species found in Alaska
in the accompanying galleries (BACK on your browser) we have left this
gallery page as a scenic tour of a visit to the beautiful state of Alaska
 

(Reeve Aleutian Airways by the way, no longer provides flights - map provided for a geographical view
of Alaska showing the Aleutian Island chain out to Attu Island at the far western end)

 
Barrow, Alaska (northernmost inhabited village in North America)
with the Arctic Ocean still in ice cap on the 1st of July ! ! !




Me, just hangin' out 80 miles north of Nome, Alaska along the
Kougarok Road - and as many miles to the nearest gas station
or civilization ! !
.....remember, there are Grizzly!  Not to mention Musk Ox!




Taking off from Nome, Alaska with the Bering Sea ice cap just
breaking up in June, heading to St. Lawrence Island! ! !

View from Gambell (St. Lawrence Island), Alaska (an Inuit Eskimo Village)
overlooking the Bering Sea toward Siberia (yes, Siberia !) with a look,
honestly, at TOMORROW !
The International date line runs half-way between Gambell and Siberia
(38 miles away - the mountains you see in the background)
and 19 miles away is the International Date Line thus "tomorrow", sooooo.....
you are looking at
Tomorrow !

 

North Slope Haul Road between Fairbanks, Alaska and the north slope
village of Prudhoe Bay, Alaska.  Over 450 miles of pristine wilderness
with the only 'inhabited' spots being the Yukon River crossing
(a gas station) and the small village of Coldfoot,
named after explorers who got 'cold' feet
and turned around!!!

At the beginning of this road there is a sign that states "Speed Limit 55mph next 465 miles"!!!



There is much more to come but it takes a great deal of time
to scan and upload images for your enjoyment !!
Thanks for your patience
