Just beautiful!

The second picture with all the color is breathtaking!

Edit: Forgot to say thanks for posting those pics.

That is magnificent!!

Good stuff.

It's beautiful. It more than makes up for the ugliness of the Palins.

that if a visitor to the State stays through one whole winter, he or she will have to return again another time. Around Fairbanks, and perhaps other parts of Alaska, the rich soil and short growing season produces the largest and most beautiful flowers and vegetables that I've ever seen.

The locals refer to folks that live in the lower 48 as "outsiders". And the population is so sparse! I suspect that the population of Dallas, TX, or any other major city in the Country has a greater population than the entire state of Alaska ~ despite it being about 1/5 as large as the rest of the continental United States.

Thanks so much for the pictures. In your spare time (if such a thing exists), kindly post two or three thousand more. Great work!

not a whole lot of people for this big, big state.

Is that the Seward harbor in the third picture? I've got some very similar-looking shots.

From about 15 years ago!
