Hello world

The world really is an amazing place.  Just look at this picture I snapped when overlooking the Harding Icefield, just outside Seward, AK.  Just four hours of hiking each way, through lush Alaskan rainforest, desert plateaus and snow-covered switchbacks, we saw a mama bear and her cubs, a couple of posing marmots, and possibly the most beautiful scene in the whole world - three hundred square miles of ice, feeding as many as forty glaciers.

I have no idea who will read this blog, if anyone ever will.  But whoever you are, I hope you find the world as beautiful as I do.
