A few from my short trip to Sitka, AK the last few days. Sitka has about 8,000 people but is the 4th largest city in AK. Not sure this is the best category for this, but it is landscapes and nature.

The second to last shot with the "Adirondack" is very nice.

Thanks Karen, I think I'd move there in a flash is I thought I could make a living, and it's definitely more expensive.

Thank you sir, I really liked what I was seeing there and took quite a few shots.

Good shots, Kenny. Congratulations on your son's graduation & best wishes for a successful career. Most of the people I know up there make enough income in four months to live the other eight months in CA or FL. You could, too.

That definitely seems to be the modus operandi -- either tourism or fishing. I'm certainly considering it.

Nice shots! I'll be there in about two months, so it's nice to get a preview. Hope we get weather half as nice as what you experienced.

Yes, it was pretty much perfect, but did turn a bit yesterday I understand.
