Steve is a commercial pilot who lives in and flies over Alaska. He’s also a pretty good photographer. Earlier this week, our friend Vic from Arizona introduced us by sending me some of Steve’s photos. Since then, I’ve asked Steve if I can post them. His reply?
I am a commercial pilot. I work and live in Alaska and have been here about 35 years. I have flown all over the state and had many occasions to take pictures. You can post anything I send. My political views are pretty simple. America is headed for the toilet and I intend to ride out the storm in Alaska because Alaska tends to be somewhat independent of the garbage that goes on in the lower 48. We do have problems. The two main ones are mosquitoes and the federal government; not necessarily in that order.

Enjoy the slide show, compliments of Alaska Steve!
The tea party group helping to upset the status quo in several races this election year is coming back to Alaska to fulfill a vow to do whatever it takes to beat U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski.
Tea Party Express spokesman Levi Russell said Wednesday that the group plans to be in Alaska in about a week and will unveil a new ad campaign in support of Republican Joe Miller.

Beautiful.
And, your friend Steve is right.
I just love these pics! Thanks Andrea for sharing! When Lloyd and I were in Alaska for Joe Miller, I just fell in love with that state. Do you know there is only 650,000 people in the entire state?!
When we were there it was in the 60 degree area. The locals were in tshirts and shorts; me…. I was shivering in leather. Hey, what can I say, I live in Florida. LOL
Thanks for all you do Andrea!
All the best, Mary
Shows you the sun does shine in the far North. Thanks for posting. I never though of a departure delay due to bears.
Absolutely breathtaking!! Makes one want to “migrate” north!
Alaska might indeed be a suitable locale to “ride out” all the
craziness currently overtaking our nation! Too bad Texas & Alaska are not contiguous states. . .
