"She's living in a world, and it's on fire. Feeling the catastrophe, but she knows she can fly away"
Prince William Sound is a sound of the Gulf of Alaska on the south coast of the U.S. state of Alaska. It is located on the east side of the Kenai Peninsula. Its largest port is Valdez, at the southern terminus of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System. Other settlements on the sound, which contains numerous small islands, include Cordova and Whittier plus the Alaska native villages of Chenega and Tatitlek.
James Cook entered Prince William Sound in 1778 and named it Sandwich Sound, after his patron the Earl of Sandwich. The Sound was named in 1778 to honour George III's third son Prince William Henry, then aged 13 and serving as a midshipman in the Royal Navy.
In 1793, Alexander Andreyevich Baranov founded port Voskresensk in the sound, which he called Chugach Bay. The first three-masted ship, Phoenix, was the first ship built by the Russians in America.
Most of the land surrounding Prince William Sound is part of the Chugach National Forest, the second largest national forest in the U.S. Prince William Sound is ringed by the steep and glaciated Chugach Mountains. The coastline is convoluted, with many islands and fjords, several of which contain tidewater glaciers. The principal barrier islands forming the sound are Montague Island, Hinchinbrook Island, and Hawkins Island.
This province is known for their Tulou - a traditional communal residence usually build in a circular configuration.
Parts of Alberta got a spectacular aurora borealis show on the night of Nov 2-3, but this was as good as it got for me as I was in an area that got clouded over.

the clouds were amazing over our three days at Hope Bay, Ontario. I'm not sure I've ever taken so many photos of them. This is one of my favourites. Taken last night as we sat on the bay eating our supper.
Fiddling with effects on a gray afternoon after work when we are all fed and relaxing...I guess this is what is called the monsoon season around here, when piles of clouds zoom by and spit a few drops of rain on the plants, teasing everyone with unfulfilled promises of downpours.
On a cloudy morning some mid-slope clouds hang under Lone Pine Peak over Alabama Hills. An HDR shot taken above Alabama Hills in Lone Pine, CA.

"Life is so beautiful that death has fallen in love with it, a jealous, possessive love that grabs at what it can. But life leaps over oblivion lightly, losing only a thing or two of no importance, and gloom is but the passing shadow of a cloud..."
— Yann Martel (Life of Pi)
