Tracy Arm, Alaska
Named after Civil War General Benjamin Franklin Tracy, Tracy Arm is one of the most beautiful fjords in Southeastern Alaska. The fjord’s floating ice, breathtaking views, and resident wildlife including occasional bears, seals, and a variety of birds, make it one of the most talked-about scenic destinations for travelers to Alaska. Accessible only by plane, ship or boat, the fjord covers 653,179 acres and is located 72km south of Juneau, the capital of Alaska. The entrance to Tracy Arm is located five miles north of mile marker 900 in John Upton’s Alaska Cruise Handbook. The North Sawyer and South Sawyer Glaciers are located at the end of Tracy Arm; however the path to view these glaciers is blocked by impassable large floating pieces of ice. Nevertheless, the mountainous walls, resident wildlife, steep waterfalls and native vegetation make for spectacular photographs.

The photo doesn't do this scene any justice. I was amazed by the swift flow of the brook under the ice... I wish I could have caught the way it bubbled up against the ice ceiling...
"I was born to catch dragons in their dens / And pick flowers / To tell tales and laugh away the morning / To drift and dream like a lazy stream / And walk barefoot across sunshine days." — James Kavanaugh (Sunshine Days and Foggy Nights
One of my favorite pics taken from the bus of a small stream in the countryside.

More from our trip to Tallulah River with Image Doctor Photograph Restoration and Scott Evans. Not sure if I like the black and white or color better. Thoughts?
this is the feeder stream that feeds into jackhouse reservoir, it originates on the moors above oswaldtwistle
A tiny stream flows from the cliffs, southwest of Independence Mine at a higher elevation. The terrain becomes alpine tundra and scattered, lichen-covered boulders litter the landscape. This little stream runs clear and cold across a cushiony green carpet of moss, breaking up this otherwise harsh mountainside with a touch of softness and warm glow. It made a delightful bed upon which to lay and listen to the sounds of flowing water, ptarmigan, pikas and squirrels foraging amongst the stones. It was warmer as long as the sun was shining and the wind stayed calm, but the weather can change quickly and a warm, early fall day in the upper elevations of Hatcher Pass can turn freezing in an instant. The sun dips behind a cloud or mountain, wind picks up and an ill-prepared hiker will find their way quickly back down the mountains.
