2022 Iditarod Champion Brent Sass Full Interview
AMAZING, honest and detailed description of what the race was like, and how difficult! Most mushers are not this open. Even cries! I’ve never heard such an incredible interview before.
His dogs live with him in the cabin (37:30)! “They’re all friends.” Wonderfully unconventional, the way it should be! Susan Butcher used to allow one or more dogs in the cabin, in rotation.
“I enjoy the struggle, alone at the homestead with the dogs. … It’s survival and dogs.” “You have to want to work pretty much all the time.”
“Focus forward. … Positive attitude is key. … If I get upset every time something breaks, I would be in trouble.”

Kenai Eagle Cam: Denali’s Accidental & Intentional Fledge
I followed this Kenai, Alaska webcam all summer, from before the eggs were hatched to this and beyond. Fascinating experience.
– –
Congratulations to Denali on her accidental then intentional fledge at 80 days/11.42 weeks of age. This footage captures Denali’s early morning branching, wingercising leading up to her fall or accidental fledge at 643 am and her intentional fledge at 1012 am. This footage is recorded in actual time and again in slow motion. Please note there is no sound at this nest; the sounds you hear are recorded from the NCTC Bald Eagle nest.
This has been a wonderful day for Denali, Mom Aurora and the Kenai family; a terrific outcome despite the sad losses and challenges that Aurora and Denali faced thorough out this season. Wishing Denali safe travels, fair weather and food aplenty in her journey to independence. Safe travels lil one … i hope Denali will bless us with frequent visits over the next few weeks before she leaves to start her adventures away from the comfort of Mom and her familiar homeland.

(vid) Motion Guest Hike: Glacier National Park, MT
One of my favorite “Motion” episodes, featuring father-daughter guest hikers, Kevin and Sara Durbin with host Greg Aiello, who are also in an episode of Jeff Aiello’s newer series, “Outside: Beyond the Lens,” “East Side Colors” episode, that airs on PBS. Jeff filmed the “Motion” series. I watched “Motion” on the “Outside TV” channel.
Kevin and Sara demonstrate in both shows they have such an appreciative attitude that is so rare these days.
Glacier National Park is one of my favorite places on earth, having visited and hiked there three early periods in my life: grade school, high school and college.

Second eaglet emerging from its egg — Kenai Eagle Cam
The second eaglet was born on June 2nd. This screenshot is from about 6 AM. Both eggs have now hatched!
The eaglet in front of the mother was born a few days ago. The other is still partially in its egg.
The other parent had been laying on these two, when this parent flew in (I don’t know which are mom and dad). When the other got up, and flew off, we see the new baby! This parent is seeing this new one for what appears to be the first time, from what I could tell by scrolling through the video, which has 12 hours to scroll through!

Alaskan Todd Salat’s “Joy of Nature” Aurora Video Featuring “Open Heart!”
Nothing demonstrates the glory of God to me in nature more than the wondrous northern lights dancing overhead, filling the entire sky!
Walking through the Redwoods is my #2 most awesome. And the flight over the 50-mile-long Ruth glacier in front of Denali is #3.
I’ve actually had some AMAZING supernatural experiences in the presence of God that top these natural experiences, including when the angels sung during the Rodney Howard-Browne meetings in Anchorage, 1993.
The coming spiritual revival will be AWESOME!
I do like this “Open Heart” image a lot!

AMAZING! Kikkan Randall, Alaska olympic medalist takes us through different winter olympic events in this Alaska Club, online workout!
Really fun!
I accidentally photographed Kikkan while she was doing a jog with friends at a seldom used airstrip a few years ago in Anchorage.
She now lives in Canada, but her heart still seems to be in Alaska.

Drifting Through The Night | Startrails Timelapse 4K
Stunning!
I am excited to share my new collection of night sky, startrail timelapses. These trails were created by blending hundreds of long exposure images for each individual timelapse. The intro sequences are a blend of startrail timelapses mixed with regular night sky timelapses to create a singular shooting star effect. This was a super fun passion project to work on over the years, I have a few more time-blended videos to share in the near future!

(vid) Debussy “Clair de Lune” on Piano for 80 Year Old Elephant
Debussy “Clair de Lune” for a gentle female elephant called Ampan. Ampan is 80 years old and lives with us as Elephants World in Thailand. She is blind in one eye and can barely see with the other. 80 years old is very old indeed for an elephant, it’s about 10 years past the natural life span of an elephant in the wild.
