This part of Alaska is all about fishing. Serious fishing. People from all over the world travel here to fish!I thought this carved wooden bench was quite impressive!Impressive sized fish are caught here!If you look carefully at the bottom of the sign, you can see hooks where the successful fishermen hang their catch and have their photo taken to document the memory.Everything, and I mean everything, is focused on fishing. It is beautiful!Although I have loved visiting Alaska, there is one topic about Alaska that I do not like. Mosquitoes!!! Sometimes there are not too many, but other times they are suddenly swarming all around you! People camping often use portable screened porches so they can sit outside and not be eaten alive by mosquitoes.
I simply love looking at the rich color of flowers in Alaska.This is a Russian church in Kenai. It reminds me of my trips to Russia, Ukraine, and Moldova. I am sure Russia now deeply regrets selling Alaska to the US.This is from Kenai looking west across the Cook Inlet to Lake Clark National Park.This is in Kenai. I am not sure there are too many beaches where you play on the beach in shorts while there are snow capped mountains not too far away. Alaska is amazing!This is not a great photo. Sorry, but it was the best angle I could get from an upper bluff. I thought it was important because it shows where the mouth of the Kenai river flows into Cook Inlet.This is another stop looking across the Kenai river. I simply love to look at the picturesque scenes. I love the colors and the clouds.
