Forest

Side blog for my Alaska pics :)

Hi! I’m Forest. I’m a 23 year old guy doing seasonal work in southeastern Alaska. I’m starting this little side blog to share pictures of the beautiful views I’m finding along the way :)

Up and down the shore

This hike was rough but fun

Blues and Greens

Hazey gradients between real life

and the sea-foam green footprints of

water-logged reports for duty.

Stars fall over late nights,

green-tinged and hopeful,

met with curling smoke

and homesickness

Ferns! I haven’t yet identified which specific plant this is, but I saw it while hiking and I thought that the bumps and ridges along the leaves were very cool. Running my fingers along the leaves felt almost like braille - very textured and raised

I finally saw the Aurora Borealis! I will say though, it was nearly imperceptible to the naked eye. Shows up pretty well in pictures though. It’s late in the season for the Aurora at this point, and I had almost lost hope that I would get to see it. Imagine my surprise when I saw it on a drunken night with friends!

Frozen lake I saw on a hike :)

Same spots, about a month apart. Fascinating to see how the snow melts and Spring takes hold.

Took a short hike out to this cove. It was beautiful and windy and I couldn’t get enough of the salty air

I found it fascinating how the water in the creek has dropped away from the ice
