Tundra

When I said I wanted to go for a walk on the tundra all of the fishing guides laughed. They described it as "walking on a wet mattress covered with soaking-wet pillows." I'll be damned if they weren't right. It was exhausting, but so beautiful. I've heard that the tundra has more species and varieties of flora and fauna in one square meter than anywhere else on earth and I would believe it. I have no resources to back this up, but it seems correct. Additionally, the heat coming up from the earth was incredible. Tundra, man, you are magical.

The best and trippiest part was that there were no wires anywhere. No telephone poles, no roads, no cellular towers, nothing. It was so vast and so open and wild that it took my breath away.

I really love feeling tiny and insignificant when enjoying nature, and Alaska brought that point home so beautifully.

Some varieties of the plants taken really crappily by myself. Also still can't figure out that date setting on the camera. Sorry.

Me in the vast wilderness.
