Although on airplanes I tend to like the aisle seats… the windows always draw my eyes. Whether it’s a mesmerizing sunset, or the lure of cotton soft clouds, or maybe, the twinkly lights of a small town below, the view is always fascinating. So, when my sil and I went to Alaska a few years back, I knew I wanted a window seat for sure. Alaska in the summer doesn’t have twinkly lights. Alaska in the summer has vivid green everywhere all day/night long.
The greens were amazing and the rivers snaked across the landscape muddy with glacier melt.
The trees and bushes seemed etched into the flatness of the land.
As we got closer to Fairbanks, the rivers became bluer and the trees grew closer to the wheels of the plane. Out the window I saw the shadow of our plane and it looked so small.
And within minutes the shadow and the ground meet. We were in Alaska.
Gorgeous views from the airplane window!
Thank you. It was an amazing trip. I would love to go again.
I so want to go to Alaska. It has been on my list for some time. One year soon…
I saved for a long time for the trip. My sister-in-law and I went together. We did the land and sea cruise. We both had the best time. It was a good way to do it because the trip was paid for before we left and we didn’t spend a huge amount of money out of pocket. It was worth every penny.
Aaaahhhmazing! Alaska is on my list as well. It probably won’t happen but you never know..I ain’t dead yet, so…In the meantime thanks for the beautiful window view
Thank you! I hope you make it there. It is truly beautiful!
Me too
Thanks for participating.
What an amazing landscape!! Alaska is on my wishlist, maybe someday I will be able to see that scenery!! Thanks for following my journey!! You have a lovely blog here, so I will definitely be visiting it again!!
Thank you. I am sure with all the places you have been, and are going. that Alaska will be a destination. I loved every minute of it except riding draft horses across the Tundra… not as romantic as it sounded. I love following your travels. It reminds me of my dreams when I was younger. It’s funny the paths your life follows. Looking forward to your visits.
Fabulous photos! I can tell you really liked Alaska.
Alaska was wild and beautiful. It is so untouched in comparison to the rest of the 50 states. And then there was that Land of the Midnight Sun thing going on. You have to have blackout curtains. It was invigorating.
