A Look Back

We digested our trip into about 100 pictures.

To these images, please add the sweetest smelling air, the pungent aroma of sourdough, the thrilling taste of incredibly brisk mountain streams, the awe of grand vistas - one folding on top of another, the soothing feel of moss, the hilarious laughter of ferns, the clicking of a camera shutter, the steadfast pursuit of reindeer sausage, the dispassion of moose being photographed, the daring boasts of city-slickers, the tears of old friends well met, the panic of confused reservations, the changing of much money, the adoration of human artistry, the taste of salmon bathing in smoke, the elusive nature of long hidden gold, the sound of rocks crashing against one another in a watery bath, the shout of parents for boys "lost" in the woods, the boredom only tarmac can bring, the shattering bark of glaciers, the joy of discovery, and the healing of one human heart - too long gone from home.
