Alaska Part II

I was really thankful the weather was so overcast and cloudy when we took our trip.

I believe the clouds and light bring out the mystery and the beauty of Alaska.

Check out these pictures below and see if you agree.

Ketchican Alaska: A street called Creek Street.

I know what you are thinking… You are thinking…

“Oh my God… man made global warming is worse than I thought… Alaska is melting!”…

And if you do think that from this picture… You are wrong…

&bnsp;

Now, back to reality… There were a lot of dead salmon along the creek bed, and lot and lots of birds feasting on the dead salmon… Nature running it’s course. The dead salmon were not strong enough to make it up the creek (without a paddle) Too weak. Too weak to mate. So yes, only the strong do survive in Nature.

Another angle shot of creek street.

Pretty Cool! People put Totem poles in front of their houses and businesses.

Different Totem Pole in Ketchican

On the next post we will go to other scenes in Alaska. Sitka and also Seattle Washington.

In the famous words of Elmer Fudd “duh dat, duh dat, duh dat, duh dat’s all folk’!”

If you get the chance you really should go and see it. I promise you will be awed and amazed at the raw beauty.

And if you get to go in October or November try to get more Northward… You may get a chance to see the Aurora Borealis! I was really hoping to see that, but the weather has to be cold and clear.

That’s it for now.
