Trip: Alaska, from Above and Below -

 

Date: 5/11/2008

 

Trip Report:

Alaska, with its expressive, endless light, mercurial weather, raw landscapes, and frenetic springs, can seem like an alien world full of accidental, often abstract art forms. Whether viewed through the omniscience of an aircraft window or the intimacy of a macro lens, it is a place which never fails to stun any visitor with open eyes and a willing mind.
