Looking down (#34 in series: nearly back to Juneau)

 

This post’s featured image was taken just five minutes after the previous one’s.

Beautifully soft late-afternoon/early evening light bathed the landscape – a “softer” landscape than the one we’d been looking at five minutes earlier.

The Taku Inlet (which is the Taku River’s lowermost section, after it encounters the Taku Glacier) below “our” floatplane” was widening, prior to its meeting the ocean.

We would be back in Juneau within five or six minutes.

This series’ next two chapters have no ice, a great deal less altitude, and involve a different continent.
