Great shots. Have not been to that part of the world, yet. Only beginners Alaska, southwest.

A book I highly recommend for those with an affinity for Alaska or those who just want to read some great true stories about the place.

I love southwest Alaska!

These, however, were from the interior, mostly between Denali and the Richardson Hwy.

Quite an enjoyable collection of images, Igor. The two of the mountains and rivers/lakes certainly tell us you were in Alaska. I especially like the second one.

And that well-worn timber cabin seems so very inviting.

My favorite, though, is the group of tall trees in the dark. Something really magical about that shot.

Thank you much for taking the time with this post.

I also experimented with videos a bit. You have to turn up the volume to hear to water.

Changed the size. It's blurier now. Video was shot with an iphone so you can't expect much.

Forget all the "should"s in your life, return to the basics of who you are in your heart.

Yep, now I like your image even more.

Sounds like an upbeat individual.

Glad I could only make out those couple of lines. I made different sense out of it.

Clouds drifting over landscape. The cloud formations never got tiring for me.

I don't know if you noticed, Blanca, but those trees are not growing behing the cabin. They are actually growing on it's roof. There is a foot of moss on the roof and the trees are growing out of that. I'm sure it will all collapse soon enough.
