    [this paper is WAY over my head in terms of the nuance of structural geology, but still fascinating; further, I have to say: these are TRULY gorgeous, well-designed & presented, and useful geologic maps, cross-sections, annotated photographs and other visualisations (I am jealous of that level of skill, in the BEST of ways!)]

  3. A few years ago, a wildfire ravaged parts of the Kenai Peninsula here in Alaska. A year later, we drove through the same area and witnessed the rebirth of what burnt the previous summer. Amongst the blackened trees were huge fields of fireweed in all directions.

    This painting, called "Beauty from Ashes," is an attempt to capture what we saw that summer.

  4. Our drive home from Anchorage was not as pretty as I had hoped UNTIL we were over halfway home and the sun came out and there was blue sky over snow-covered mountains.
