My Work Environment . . .

After a long day of work, I drive down to the beach and watch Walrus make their way onto shore - Alaska

Cape Newenham sits nestled along the southwest coastline of Alaska. Craggy Mountains tower skyward and an abundance of wildlife mill the area.

From my two story vantage point, I glance out my bedroom window to see a red fox dash across the tundra in the dark of early morning.

After long, hard hours at work, I drive down to the beach and watch this colony of walrus swim to shore and waddle up the beach to huddle together against the cliffs.

While driving around camp and watching from my window, a herd of caribou provide quite a show as a brute of a bull chases off three young bucks from his harem.

A covey of more than thirty ptarmigan blend with the terrain down by the Weather Observation Station.

And a colleague caused a stir here at work when he shot and skinned, his first ever, brown bear; a 10' monster located just off the point from camp. 

I am most fortunate to see and watch with my own eyes such magnificent creatures. I hope you enjoy the photos I took - though they do not compare to the live performances I've viewed.
