Good night my IM friends.

Yep, that's my home. Pretty awesome right?

Get some sleep folks, there is a whole lot more craziness coming our way tomorrow.

“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.

A little Alaskan beauty to start your day, courtesy of our friend Dennis Zaki.

These first five are of Pioneer Peak, right outside of Wasilla.

These last three are of Wasilla lake.

I swear if the city of Wasilla had any sense they would hire Dennis to make up a pamphlet to attract tourists to their town.

Nobody makes the area around Wasilla look more beautiful  than Dennis does! In my humble opinion.
