All of your pictures are wonderful to view. Do you carry a .44 mag (or other) for protection, or is it photograph at your own risk?

Wow! I've seen a few pictures of people that have been attacked by bears, so was just curious. It must be great living in Alaska, but I am more of an underwater Caribbean type guy. Thanks

Yes,seeing a photo of a halfeaten person kind of curbs your appetite for a wilderness but life goes on.If I was worried about bears I would be a prisoner in my own home because they come and steal my garbage can.
As for diving we have the Pacific all around us and no diving traffic,lots of wrecks.

Well, billyzee, I HAD to do something with those two! Geepers! They were melting the LEDs off my screen, sagging like hot tar on a 12/12 roof. Now I'll have to call DELL for another monitor.
