Alaska Photos Round 2- Best Color Images


These are the best color photos from the past summer in Alaska. While I took many images, this post and the previous post contain the images I think that everyone can appreciate. Sorry that there is not more fish porn. I'm just not that into somebody holding a fish up for the camera just so everyone else can see how big the fish was.

Enjoy!
