Panorama


This is my favorite Alaska photo of all. Click to enlarge. The resolution is very high, though, so don't have too many apps running if you try downloading this thing. Just to give you an idea, if I were to print this out in its current size, it would be over 7 feet long.

Give some credit to PessiMystic for stitching together the 7 shots needed to form this panorama.

Massive Alaska post

Sorry this is so late in coming!

Flying in...




The day after that, we had to get up at the crack of dawn to drive down to Prince William Sound, where we got on a boat and did an educational cruise-type thing over the day. It was beautiful weather, which they said was really unusual.




We saw otters.

And kittiwakes.


LOTS of kittiwakes.


The day after that, we went to the Alaska Zoo, just outside of Anchorage. We saw a lot of native animals there.
A bald eagle...

A yak...

A seal, LOL...

A wolf...

Some hilarious-looking alpaca things...


And a snow leopard, among others.

After we were in Anchorage, we drove two hours up into the Alaskan Interior to a tiny little town called Talkeetna. This is where most of the bush planes bringing climbers to Mt. McKinley (a.k.a. Denali) take off. It was a pretty cool little place; I liked it the best of all the places we stayed.


Mt. McKinley - or Denali, whichever you prefer, though Denali is the prettier name. That means "The High One", in case you didn't know. And it certainly is.


This is just a cool one I took on a hike. The water was so reflective, like glass.

While we were in Denali, we went on a bus tour into the park. We're talking no people for miles and miles around, except for the other ones on the bus. And we saw some pretty cool stuff.



Including a fox carrying around a snowshoe hare twice its own size.


And a great horned owl with the yellowest eyes I've ever seen on anything, except maybe the ones of that wolf.


There was also a REALLY fat little ground squirrel.


And bears. Now, the park ranger we'd talked to the day before made it sound like if we were lucky we might even see a ptarmigan and a hare - which made this even more amusing. She said she hadn't seen a grizzly yet that season. Well, we saw a total of four bears, but this was the one that came closest to the bus.


Such a gorgeous creature.


A caribou - one of a very small herd - drinking water from one of the little streams on a gravel bar.


And a moose, the last of the really interesting wildlife we saw.


On the last day in Denali, during the drive back to Anchorage, we stopped at an overlook - and from there, you could see Denali Mountain, clear as day. Usually it's bathed in clouds and fog, like it was in the Talkeetna post. But this was all of it, the whole thing. It was so big, I couldn't even believe it.

They just keep coming!

So yeah, i've taken more pictures once again! You have to slow the whole thing down.. i couldn't figure out how to make it slower ha ha ha sadly.. i'm not a computer genius. Stay with me here ha ha. So in the beginning of the slide show i've got a couple of pictures i've taken randomly again, and the rest are from my hike that i went on last weekend.

It was, well really long ha ha. 25 miles long so.. yeah. I took pictures on the way in and when we turned around i stopped. I was way too tired and hot to take pictures ha ha ha but yeah! I hope you enjoy seeing Utah in all of it's colors! ha ha ha.. yes :) enjoy.

Oh, if you hover your mouse thing over some of the pictures have captions. just FYI. :] maybe.. probably not. never mind ha ha ha





thanks! comment please! bye

Wood Shop Projects

Well I was cealnin out my room today, and jezus is it a mess! Well I've
found some of my wood shop projects that I made this year, and last year, and they're kinda kool. Here's some pictures.


Well this was my most recent creation, a mirror and shelf. The design is a Native American eagle picture. This took me most of hte year only because I helped out, and hung out with my friends then. The stain I used was called special walnut, it was that or some cherry thing. I was gonna do the cherry, but then a friend talked me outta it.


This is just a closer look at the design, if you can't tell, i kinda messed up on the outside of the eagle cuz I was cuttin too fast =( . Oh well can't do anything about it now. Also for some strange reason my class mates were telling me that mine was really smooth, even when I could still feel a ton of bumps left by the finish*.


This was the jewelry box, first eighth grade project in wood shop! As you can see it's got a lizard for the center design. Not much else to mention, i put the box top on crooked (my mistake!), and I stained the lizard a different color then the box at first (whoops!)asides from that, nothing much was worth mentioning it.


This is a spice rack, I made it 7th grade, best shop class ever, had a ton of really kool guys in it. Since it really doesn't go in the kitchen, i use it for legos!


This is a gum ball machine, my first ever wood shop project!


These were just cut out pieces from some of the projects. I think that the one on the left looks like a yoshi baby who's mom did crystal meth before he was born. lol! The one on right looks like a giraffe I think.

Well thats all for now g2g sleep. Ciao for now!
