Photographs from Alaska

[Vampiress]

These photos are from a trip I took to Anchorage

"The Sleeping Lady" or Mount Susitna, info here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Susitna

 

Some of you may have heard of Alaska being the land of the midnight sun. During the warmer months of the year you can still see sunlight past midnight, just as during the winter months it is dark all day. This photo was taken near midnight.

Photos I took on a trip to Sitka, Alaska which is where my clan and family is from

This rock was installed by a relative of mine

The inside, before the dancers came out

Eagle at the Raptor Center (they do rehabilitation)

Some totem poles from the Totem Park

The one below is the oldest totem brought to Sitka

Bears at the Fortress of the Bear (bear rescue)

From the Russian Orthodox Cemetary. Alaska used to be owned by Russia, so Russian Orthodox religion is not uncommon in Alaska. I am not Russian Orthodox so I cannot answer any questions about it, however.

The Princess' grave:

I will skip posting graves of my relatives and ancestors to maintain some privacy

More from Totem Park

Tree growing on top of tree
