You know you're in Alaska...

...when you are greeted by a polar bear at the airport. However, I'm hard put to give you pictures of all those other cliches that stick in my memory: igloos, dog sleds, snow everywhere, seals, walrus &, of course, a big moose or two. I haven't seen any such as yet. Not likely too, either. After all, it is summer, if a grey one.

No, I have been travelled all over the place by the Dotter, taken a zillion photos & tried to tame the Alien Computer. It takes time, folks! My bear above wants to be straightened out and he wants a tap or two on the PhotoShop contrast button, but I thought I'd better shout a hello or two before Walking Prescott is completely forgotten.

There are fascinating matters to report & picture: the ubiquitous latte shacks you find everywhere ... impressive moutain peaks looming over you at every turn ... water, water everywhere ... and even a glimpse of a glacier or two. With luck and perseverance, I'll be back in a day or two.
