exploring nature’s infinite connections
Believe it or not, but I am still processing quite a few Alaska images. I wonder if I will ever finish. This one was from a boat trip we took from Geographic Harbor in Katmai National Park out into the Shelikof Straits. The water was quite rough, making it quite...
