Whittier, Alaska
On the edge of the Prince William Sound, Whittier is one of Alaska’s many odd towns. Most Whittier residents live in the one building (Begich Towers Condominium) shown in the bottom of today’s photo. From another angle in town, it appeared that the waterfall was running directly into (or under I guess) this building.

Root Glacier (Alaska)
Less than an hour before this photo taken, I came face to face with a bear on the trail to this glacier. Unlike other bears I have met in the wild, this one didn’t run the other way. Instead, it started up the trail toward me. I know, you’re supposed to “get big” when you are in a bear staredown, but my natural instinct was to back up. The dog in this photo was 50-100 feet behind me on the trail and decided to get between me and the bear. That scared the bear off, and so I’m still here to tell the story.
