alaskan

everything is really big in alaska. really big mountains, really big trees, really big fish, really big clouds, really big coldness... if you're ever in juneau, throw down for a helicopter tour of the glaciers, especially one where you get out and walk, it was hands-down one of the coolest experiences of my life.

not a lot of crazy stories, things are pretty well planned-out on a cruise, so i'll let the pictures and video do the talking:

FLICKR!

VIMEO!

YOUTUBE! (BECAUSE VIMEO HAS A WEEKLY UPLOAD LIMIT AND I CAN'T WAIT TO SHOW THIS ONE!)

stunning glacial vistas, here we come!
