Alaska

My favorite place in the world as of yet.  Vast, beautiful, and enchanting.  I could go on, but neither my words or my pictures can do this place justice.  To have such a magnificent place within the borders of my own country gives me a great deal of pride.  Alaska feels both obtainable and frightening at the same time.  The line between colonization and wilderness is thin and often blurred, with one constantly encroaching on the other.  You don’t have to travel far to reach true wilderness here, a short walk from a road or an easy boat ride will get you in, but to truly experience it you must face fears and choose to leave most comforts behind.
