Back in from enjoying the winds from the remnants of a hurricane, on Skye. Got back before the rain got too heavy but almost blew over a few times. #photography #landscape

Sheep Mountain in Alaska is named because sheep like to come and lick the salty deposits that form around its geothermal areas. It also shows the bright orange color in its runoff like areas in Yellowstone. #photography #landscape #geothermal flic.kr/p/2sEXLNw

It's always fun picking out the details of an icefall when flying over a glacier, and this trip over the Knik glacier was no exception. The blues were really prominent. #photography #landscape #glacier flic.kr/p/2sEPjHH

The peace was broken by passing emergency vehicles on the highway. It turns out they were responding to a disastrous fire that had just begun. alaskapublic.org/news/2026-09...

I had heard of the bore tide forming a surfable wave as the tide comes in at Turnagain Arm in Alaska. I never thought I'd be lucky enough to see someone surfing it. Watched this guy on a peaceful ride for a few minutes. #photography #landscape #surfing flic.kr/p/2sE58kj

It's hard to comprehend how tall the face of the Harvard Glacier in Prince William Sound stands, and harder to convey in a picture. There are some gulls near the bottom edge where it meets the water for scale, but they are barely visible. #photography #landscape #glacier flic.kr/p/2sDrz5v

This brown bear was scavenging for fish along the river, and hopped up on this small island looking for a treat up top. There wasn't any. Returned to Lake Clark NP last week, and there will be many pictures over the coming months. #photography #wildlife #nature #bears flic.kr/p/2sDmjRS
