Look, a picture! (yet more Alaska!)

I thought that I would continue with the Alaska theme this week. This picture (taken by my father) is from the top of the Mt. Alyeska ski run just south of Anchorage. A few moments after this photo was taken, paragliders started flinging themselves off the top of the mountain.

BTW, I know that I missed my last sermon entry, and you poor souls have now gone two weeks without my words of wisdom. I'll make up for it this weekend. In the meantime, stay on the meds.

Look, a picture! (less past, more blast)

This picture is from about nine years ago (hard to believe), during my second trip to Alaska for dissertation research. It was taken in beautiful Sitka, AK, sometime early in December during my winter break from UO. I'm looking southeast along the shoreline back toward Sitka itself. I originally took these pictures with my old one-shot kodak camera and had them developed by Seattle FilmWorks, which at that time also sent back the pictures in a propietary format, which I have converted to jpeg here. (Aren't you all proud of me?)
