A view looking SW from Mt. Alyeska across the Turnagain Arm at low tide toward the Kenai mountains.
"Turnagain Arm was named by William Bligh of HMS Bounty fame. Bligh served as Cook's Sailing Master on his 3rd and final voyage, the aim of which was discovery of the Northwest Passage. Upon reaching the head of Cook Inlet, Bligh was of the opinion that both Knik Arm and Turnagain Arm were the mouths of rivers and not the opening to the Northwest Passage. Under Cook's orders Bligh organized a party to travel up Knik Arm, which quickly returned to report Knik Arm indeed led only to a river.
Afterwards a second party was dispatched up Turnagain Arm and it too returned to report only a river lay ahead. As a result of this frustration the second body of water was given the disingenuous name "Turn Again".

MYANMAR,burma - zum Sonnenuntergang auf dem Mandalay -Hill
Viele Touristen werden auf den Berg hinaufgefahren. Schöner ist es jedoch, die 1700 Stufen vom Südeingang des Berges hinaufzulaufen. Vorbei geht’s an Souvenirläden und Essenständen. Auf halber Höhe erreicht man eine große goldene Buddhafigur, die mit ausgestrecktem Arm auf die Stadt Mandalay zeigt. Der Legende nach sagte Buddha, dass am Fuße dieses Berges, im Jahr 2400 des buddhistischen Kalenders, hier eine große Stadt entstehen werde. König Mingon verlegte aus diesem Grunde im Jahr 1857 die Königsstadt von Amarapura hier an den Fuß des Berges. Immer wieder kommt man bei der Besteigung des Berges an Opferstellen und Buddhafiguren vorbei.
Die Pagode auf dem Gipfel ist eine architektonische Meisterleistung. Sie besteht aus vielen kleinen offenen Räumen, die durch große Rundbögen voneinander getrennt sind. Die Wände sind über und über mit Glas- und Spiegelmosaiken bedeckt. Eine besondere Stimmung entsteht, wenn sich die rote, untergehende Sonne in den Mosaiken spiegelt.

Whilst not the biggest of the major glaciers in Los Glaciares National Park, Spegazzini Glacier is a hugely impressive sight, if for no other reason than the sheer size of its wall, which can tower as high as 135 metres (440 feet).
The Spegazzini glacier is one of the bordering glaciers between Argentina and Chile after the Agreement to specify the route of the limit from Mount Fitz Roy to Cerro Daudet in 1998 . The lower section of the glacier is located in Argentina, in the Lago Argentino department of the Santa Cruz province . Its source is in Chile, in the province of Último Esperanza in the Magallanes region . It is protected by the Bernardo O'Higgins and Los Glaciares National Parks.
It has an area of 134 km² and an average width of 1.5 km . The glacier originates from the South Patagonian ice field and flows eastward, reaching the Spegazzini arm of Lake Argentino . Its main characteristic is the great height of its front, which reaches 135 m, making it the highest in Los Glaciares National Park and one of the most important. The vegetation around it produces a marked contrast of colors, produced by glacier erosion, humidity, wind and the sun.
It owes its name to the botanist Carlos Luis Spegazzini , who was the first to study the local flora.
The glacier is fed by the Mayo Norte and Peineta glaciers. In addition, it has the peculiarity of not showing signs of retreat, which is a phenomenon common to large glaciers.

While visiting the sunshine coast we ventured to the Laughing Oyster Restaurant just outside Okeover Provincial Park for dinner. We walked down to the wharf to capture this view looking north up the arm.

Beluga point is a very popular destination for tourists visiting Anchorage. There is plenty of parking and the views are incredible. I have taken many photos here and I was looking for something a little different. I believe this image fills the bill. Arr 4320 leads a southbound Whittier Freight through Beluga Point.
In der Stadt, in deren Nähe der Sekretär aufwuchs und in der er viele Jahre zur Schule ging, gibt es ein problematisches Monument, ein «Kriegerdenkmal» für die Toten des (Ersten) Weltkrieges, das später für den Zweiten Weltkrieg erweitert wurde. Errichtet wurde es 1936. Wer den Stil dieser Zeit kennt, weiss, was er zu erwarten hat. Seit einigen Jahren gibt es immerhin eine Texttafel zur historisch-kritischen Einordnung und auch ein «Gegendenkmal» in Sichtweite (de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weinheimer_Kriegerdenkmal).
Seit der Sekretär Denkmäler fotografiert, fand er immer, dass er sich auch dieses reichlich problematischen Werkes einmal annehmen müsste, hatte aber kaum Gelegenheit und auch recht viel Respekt. Bei einem kurzen Besuch in diesem Sommer war er aber mit der Kamera da und machte sich ans Werk. Hier werden die Bilder nun in loser Folge nach nacheinander vorgestellt.

In the town near which the secretary grew up and where he went to school for many years, there is a problematic monument, a "war memorial" for the dead of the (First) World War, which was later expanded for the Second World War. It was erected in 1936, and those who know the style of that period know what to expect. Since a few years there is at least a text panel for historical-critical discussion and also a "counter monument" in sight (de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weinheimer_Kriegerdenkmal).
Since the secretary photographs monuments, he always thought that he would also have to deal with this highly problematic work once, but had hardly any opportunity and also quite a lot of respect. During a short visit this summer, however, he was there with his camera and got to work. Here the pictures are presented now in loose sequence one after the other.

The Fairmont Le Château Frontenac, commonly referred to as the Château Frontenac, is a historic hotel in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada. The hotel is situated in Old Quebec, within the historic district's Upper Town, on the southern side of Place d'Armes. The Château Frontenac was designed by Bruce Price, and was built by the Canadian Pacific Railway company. The hotel is managed by Fairmont Hotels and Resorts.
Opened in 1893, the Châteauesque-styled building has 18 floors; its 79.9-metre (262-foot) height is augmented by its 54-metre (177-foot) ground elevation. It is one of the first completed grand railway hotels, and was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1981. The hotel was expanded on three occasions, with the last major expansion taking place in 1993.
Quebec City was built on the north bank of the Saint Lawrence River, where it narrows and meets the mouth of the Saint-Charles River. Old Quebec is located on top and at the foot of Cap-Diamant, which is on the eastern edge of a plateau called the promontory of Quebec (Quebec hill). Because of this topographic feature, the oldest and most urbanized borough of La Cité-Limoilou can be divided into upper and lower town. North of the hill, the Saint Lawrence Lowlands is flat and has rich, arable soil. Past this valley, the Laurentian Mountains lie to the north of the city but its foothills are within the municipal limits.
At low tide, the shallow sea is almost empty. A water roller rolls at 20 to 25 km / hour into the silt at high tide. The silt is very dangerous because of drifting sand. In this bay Captain Cook had to turn back in his quest for the northwest passage. The bay got the name Turnagain Arm.

I have seen this Agile wallaby in my backyard a few times. I have spoken to the local wildlife carer and he said that the missing arm and the deformed arm was probably caused by a dingo attack. She must find it difficult to get around because they do use their arms for mobility when they are not hopping with their legs and also cleaning themselves.
Alaska Railroad Train 120S bound for the barge in Whittier is seen hustling along the Turnagain Arm just south of Beluga Point behind a trio of the railroad's geeps. With two of the three remaining as delivered black geeps in this consist, this made for a memorable chase from Potter Marsh down to Portage.
