“The earth has music for those who listen.” ― George Santayana

In Alaska on days like this which drain us of our vitality, and leave us empty and feeling inconsequential, it only takes a moment to cast our eyes upon the beauty that surrounds us to remind us that we are part of something amazing and breathtaking.

Despite what you might hear from some this place is not here to serve the needs of man, it is here to humble man with its presence, and inspire us to overcome our petty troubles and strive to achieve our potential.

At least that is how I have always seen it. And how it has always worked for me.

P.S. Yes these are also pictures from my friend the very talented Dennis Zaki.
