Ice Walker by James Raffian. A polar bear’s journey through the fragile Arctic.
One of those rare times when there were no container ships unloading here so I could get just the walkers.
The way I have heard it is, Lucas was being driven across the Bay Bridge when he saw the cranes at the Port of Oakland and started sketching them. They became the walkers. I don't know if it's true, but it is a fine tale.
Oakland, California.
Maybe once, we will ask ourself why people where masked in the street. Maybe once, Covid19 will be a story like 'Spanish Flu' in 1918.
From 1918 to 1919, a particularly virulent and contagious influenza virus called "Spanish flu" broke out in the United States, then in Europe, before spreading to all continents. Contrary to the name attributed to it, Spain is not, however, at the origin of the Spanish flu. The virus was named so because at that time Spain, which was not engaged in World War I, was not subject to censorship. Unlike her neighbors who seek to hide their dead, she freely and publicly publishes information about this disease, hence the name "Spanish flu". A real human and health disaster, the Spanish flu will last two years. More deadly than the Black Death of the 14th century, the Spanish flu claimed two to five times as many victims as the First World War which took place at the same time...
What about Covid2X ?
Mt. Walker, located in the Olympic National Forest, is the only peak facing Puget Sound that has a road to its summit. It is densely covered with 100 year-old Douglas-fir trees and Native Pacific rhododendrons. The south viewpoint is at an elevation 2805 feet.
The Hood Canal and the nearer Dabob and Quilcene Bays are the waterways in the foreground and Puget Sound is in the distance. Seattle, 28 miles away, is faintly visible at the horizon

On our Northern British Columbia, Yukon, and Alaska road trip adventure, we went to Chicken, Alaska. To get there we took the "Top Of The World Highway" from Dawson City, Yukon. This road is gravel and only paved at the Canada-USA border and at the start in Dawson City. We did it as a day trip, and it's about 200 km one way. We went in early September so we could see the fall colours. This photograph was taken at Walker Fork Bridge, Alaska.
Roads this far north are built on top of permafrost, which is very sensitive to heat. Asphalt absorbs the sun's heat, melting the permafrost under it, leaving dips on the road. In winter the opposite happens; as the moisture under the road starts to freeze, it creates a frost heave. As vehicles run over these dips and heaves, the asphalt cracks and breaks apart, making repairs extremely difficult and expensive. The gravel roads are easy to repair, and for the most part they are in excellent condition.
Friends gathered around a park table after walking around the lake together.
