What is your Alaska? In class we discussed what our Alaska would be and what it means. The Last Frontier has been idolized and a symbol for the dreams you have for yourself and a place many people want to be. The thing is, Alaska is just a frozen tundra and not the shining dream it is depicted as. It is a beautiful place to be surrounded by some of the most incredible views and wild life around. Many of the Alaska natives see many types of individuals like Chris McCandless, thinking that Alaska will be able to solve all their unanswered questions and my the world seem right again. We idolize the mythical Alaska, but must remember that it cannot be everything we want, or need, it to be.
This was a very thoughtful post that brought up many good points. I enjoyed the photos you included here.
