| That's Narrow Cape on the left and Ugak Bay almost exactly 24 hours after we left Kodiak |
It's been over 2 weeks since we got back from Japan and it is finally time to wrap it all up. These are the final random pictures and thoughts from the trip.
The top picture was taken from our plane on the way to Japan. To get to Japan we flew to Seattle and spent the night. And flew from there to Japan. A few hours into the flight Nora and I looked out the window and there was Kodiak. I checked my watch and it was almost exactly 24 hours after we left Kodiak and here we were flying over home. I could see the Bay I surveyed for archaeological sites last May
(right center), I could see where Nora and I found a glass ball last April (
cape just in front of engine), and I could see the mountain where I harvested a deer in August (
center). There was the mountains, bays, lakes and roads I know so well, The people seated around us on the plane were a bit skeptical - after all, how could we still be over the USA if we left Seattle and flew over the Pacific Ocean? But there is was and after a bit our fellow plane mates believed us.
To kill time in airports and on trains or while waiting to board planes or trains I used the drawing program on iPad. I'd draw on top of the photo and then take away the original. It is kind of fun. In the one of Nora skiing at Hakuba below you can see the 3 step process - the original, the drawing with details still shown from photo (like the second one below), and finally just the drawing with the photo removed. I've been doing this a lot lately, and may even post a few more non-japan oriented drawings.
Well that's it for Japan! Now on to the regular 'Winter in Kodiak' postings.
