Please show them my posts if you haven't already.

I loved the moments when the sun would come out for just a minute, lighting up different parts of the landscape. I didn't like it when it was all sun--half of the mystery was gone. Fortunately, clouds and fog are the norm.Gerhard Bock (Succulents and More)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17583583634141549759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-23612265103354128092015-09-23T16:41:18.079-07:002015-09-23T16:41:18.079-07:00Thank you YOU for coming along!Thank you YOU for coming along!Gerhard Bock (Succulents and More)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17583583634141549759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-72717626345928941352015-09-23T14:24:15.521-07:002015-09-23T14:24:15.521-07:00Just lovely!!!

She painted the runway on Amchitka, not Adak. Amchitka is a few islands west of Adak. My BIL Brian spent considerable time on Adak; he assisted in the transfer of Adak to the native corporation and testified before Congress about it. <br /><br />Yes the roof of that chapel is so beautiful!Hoover Boohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03083294821646284424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-61212688455867390262015-09-22T20:34:28.519-07:002015-09-22T20:34:28.519-07:00I'm glad you got up early to catch the sunrise...I'm glad you got up early to catch the sunrise - it was worth it. I understand the sense of melancholy you were feeling - even following your movements through your photos brings to mind the sense of moving through a ghost town or being alone in a post-apocalyptic world.Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-85064224186750070382015-09-22T12:07:21.193-07:002015-09-22T12:07:21.193-07:00"I’m close to feeling overwhelmed by so much ..."I’m close to feeling overwhelmed by so much natural beauty.
