I've been meaning to write the whole trip up in epic fashion to suit its epic nature, but for now, enjoy these photos I took while on the road from San Francisco to Chicago - CLICK.

Among the best reasons for living in London, is its proximity to exotic European destinations. (Posting from Nice as the sun sets over the sea). One of the best things about the internet is the ability to showcase photography. One of the best photographers online right now is Merci Niebres, and 'twas in Nice that she showed me her photos. Full circle? Well, check out her new site, it rocks.

Park Guell in Barcelona is every bit as amazing as I thought it would be. I wish I had more time to write some intelligent commentary about it, but I'll just say it was extremely pleasant. Just being there was somehow uplifting. I spent about an hour sitting under one of the viaducts listening to a jazz band, whose CD I ultimately purchased, then wandered off climbing the staircases until I could look over the whole city and out to sea. A true masterpiece of landscape architecture. Some enjoyable photos - click these thumbnails for big full screen pics:
     

Ahhh nice. Karen and Charlie's photos from Guatemala are up. And they look really great. I have to admit, I'm a bit jealous! Oh well, living in London is still in a novel stage, so I'm enjoying a bit like a vacation. Rock on K & C...

I've been playing with a photo website called "photos.net". It's a place where you can upload photos for critiques and just to organize your favorites. There is also a lot of free stuff there for people looking for interesting photos. Here's what I've uploaded so far.

The following two photos are views from a) my old back porch in San Francisco, and b) my living room window in London. Can you guess which is which?

	Our ascent of Mt. Juneau was most arduous, but as Brian deftly demonstrates, we took it all in stride. As it turns out, we lost the path shortly after the tree line and pretty much bushwacked the way to the top.
	When we got to the top, despite having trekked thourhg some very wild areas, we came upon a pile of debris and a rusted old bulldozer.
	On Friday, we went on an excellent Kayaking mission. We set forth in the rain from Auke Bay and went out to a small island about 2 miles off shore. The salmon were jumping out of the waters like dolphins in all directions. This photo was taken at our trimphant conquering of the islan.

Here are the photos. They are a bit disorganized, and some are sideways, but that's ok for just a quicky gallery.

Highlights of the trip:

1) The trip to Tracy Arm Fjoird
2) Climbing Mt. Juneau
3) Push Starting the Subaru

I can't wait to go back up there, it was truely fantastic!
