The Old and the New

I love this view - on the far left at the base of the mountain, the place I live now; the glint of blue halfway up the mountain above the house is one of the alpine lakes we like to visit; on the right in the distance you can see work and where I used to live, bracketed by Haystack Hill and the East Channel. In the foreground, of course, Chico and Goldfish, walking in the sunshine and admiring the fall colors. A collection of images, a collage of all the things precious to me on Unalaska, representing my life on the island . . . .

Stunning view and words, as always, proving less is more.

A vista to truly admire and appreciate. I can't wait to see the pictures as the fall turns to winter. I do hope the wee fox visit the areas around your new home. Other than Chico, they are my fav. :)

I can't wait to see more of these pics from your new view. Appears you have settled down somewhat as you have time to take these great evening walks with Goldfish and Chico. Enjoy while you can....
